Hello. Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic with your concerns.

The loss of balance that your father is experiencing may be due to the inner ear pathology. But with age, there area no. of causes of loss of imbalance which included vitamin B12 deficiency, low blood pressure, heart irregularities, anemia, etc. Therefore if would be a good idea to get your father worked up by his physician. The physician will also be able to identify the progress of the inner ear pathology and increase the dose of Vertin if needed.

I hope I was able to answer your question. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
