Weakness after taking unknown tablets may be due to side effects or interaction with his regular medicines. There is no single test to identify all the medicines he has taken, but doctors can evaluate him using blood tests and a clinical examination. It is important to keep medicines out of reach and supervise his intake to prevent harm. Consult a doctor immediately for proper evaluation and safe management.
