In the case of a patient aged 90 years, there is a higher risk of side effects and drug interactions. During the simultaneous use of Poltram and Ketrel, excessive sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating and performing the intended movements may occur. There is also a risk of seizures and breathing disorders leading to coma. If medicines have been prescribed by different doctors, consultation is necessary to determine whether these medicines can be used at the same time and, if so, whether there is a need to change the dosage. Please inform your doctor of any worrying symptoms. In case of convulsions, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness - prompt medical attention is necessary.
