Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of drowsiness and confusion can be due to renal failure or a neurological cause. Shelcal tablet will not cause any such serious symptoms. She needs an immediate medical evaluation to find out the cause of such symptoms.
It is best to take her to an emergency room and get her proper evaluation done.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
