Is taking Nootropil 800 three times a day too high a dose for a 66-year-old treated for severe dizziness, and could this medication, along with Stugeron plus and Absolut 3G, be causing him to feel restless, tired, and have swelling around his face and eyes?
For a 66-year-old, a Nootropil (piracetam) dose of 800 mg three times daily is within the typical range, though kidney function should be checked. Feeling tired is a common side effect of Stugeron Plus (cinnarizine/dimenhydrinate), while restlessness can sometimes occur with piracetam. Crucially, the swelling around his face and eyes is a symptom that requires prompt medical evaluation, as it could indicate an allergic reaction. Please consult his prescribing doctor soon to safely review all his medications, including the Absolut 3G supplement.
