Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Dizziness While On Aricept And Dutasteride
My husband is taking 10 mg donezepil at bedtime, aricept 10 mg at bedtime, dutasteride .5 mg in the morning, and memantine 10mg both morning and at bedtime. He says something is making him dizzy when he moves quickly. Do all these medications work together well? Which medication may be causing his dizziness?
There are no known interactions between these medications, they can be used safely together.
In terms of side effects, dizziness can occur in some persons using memantine and very rarely in persons using dutasteride. This does not mean that either medication is causing the dizziness, it is possible that there may be another cause.
He should see his doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
