Taking Normaxin, Difficulty Breathing, Irregular Pulse Rate, Dry Mouth. Am Heart Patient. Are These Side Effects?

Hi, My dad is taking a dose of Normaxin (0-0-1) pantodac(1-0-0) for the past few days as per a doctors advise. But ever since he has started taking the medicine, he if facing difficulty in breathing frequently.. and at that time, the pulse rate is also irregular. His mouth goes dry too. He is a heart patient too and is taking medicines for the same. Are these symptoms, the side effects of the above two medicines?

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
The Normaxin is a drug combination (chlordiazepoxide + clidinium bromide) mainly used by gastroenterologists for irritable bowel syndrome-the IBS. The elderly people poorly tolerate this drug especially the heart and cirrhosis patients.
Make the doses half to current levels and observe, if the problem persist then he needs stop Normaxin and switch another drug.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
