Could the medication Nexito Plus be causing high blood pressure and extreme drowsiness in my grandmother, who has diabetes and severe pain from a past thigh surgery?
Nexito Plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Clonazepam is a sedative that commonly causes drowsiness, which can be especially pronounced in older adults. While high blood pressure is less common directly from this medication, her severe pain or other health factors could be causing it. Given her diabetes and past surgery, it is very important to consult her doctor. They can safely evaluate these symptoms and adjust her treatment plan if needed. Please do not alter her dosage or stop the medication suddenly without medical guidance.
