What should I do for my father, who has had diabetes for over 15 years and takes Diapride M4 Forte, since he has had continuous hiccups for the last three days and taking beclofen 10 mg three times a day has not helped?
Since he has had diabetes for a long time and is taking Diapride M4 Forte (glimepiride and metformin), three days of continuous hiccups that have not responded to baclofen (beclofen) warrant a prompt medical evaluation. Persistent hiccups can sometimes relate to blood sugar fluctuations, nerve irritation, or digestive issues like reflux. Please check his blood sugar levels and consult his physician or a gastroenterologist. They can safely investigate the underlying cause, adjust his medications, or suggest alternative treatments to bring him comfort. Please do not alter his diabetes medications without professional advice.
