No wonder Mr. T is tired. This is a list of medication that Mr. T is taking...and this can change momentarily. Antibiotics: vancomycin, tazocin, ciprocoxacin and metronidazole (flagyl).
He also takes Tacro which is an immune suppressant as well as benadryl, gravol and ativan as needed in his line. He takes nifedipine for high blood pressure and pantoprazole which is a high-class antacid. Then he gets hydromorphone to control pain (pump)...insulin and TPN & Lipids. All these medications...although needed have serious side effects & some have long-term side effects.
Mr. T's favorite DOC (drug of choice) is gravol. It calms his stomach & always helps him sleep. Some of the nurses tried to tell him that gravol & benedryl are the same....and he will argue with them. He prefers gravol........and when he takes it.......it ALWAYS makes me feel better too!
He gets platelets as well as blood every 2nd day or as needed.
