Hi,
I understand your concern towards your mother.
Strocit 500 (Citicoline) is safe to your mother, so also are gabapin and Jointace DN. These will not cause her any harm.
Piracetam or Nootropil 800 is not to be used in renal impairment or decreased renal function as in your mother's case. Please discuss about this with her treating doctor.
Mentat is an herbal product, I cannot comment on this since I am an allopath. However, clinical studies have not shown any adverse effects in normal patients.
The shoulder pain your mother is suffering from, most probably seems like an acute exacerbation of Osteoporosis.
I am sorry that she is suffering these ailments. In case of severe pain please give her paracetamol 500mg tablet which is available over the counter.
As age progress, the cognitive functions of brain decrease. Please accept that and take good care of your mother.
Hope I have answered your query.
All the best.
Dr. Shanthi
