My mom was taken off of meloxicam and put on Tylenol 500 mg for arthritis pain when I was taking her to the doctor. Well my sister took over and put her on it again due to pharmacy didn't stop filling prescription after I told them the doctor said not to give it to her she is to take Tylenol. So my sister just takes whatever is handed to her out of the pharmacy window and if it says take this well it is what she is to take. {Now mind you, I told her that the pharmacy for some reason will not stop filling it, but her doctor said not to take it, to give her Tylenol) I had told pharmacy employees over and over to stop filling it)
Well my sister moves mom away from home to live in another state with her. My mom ended up having internal bleeding and cardio heart problems such as a low heart rate then a high heart rate..A FIB.
I noticed on several discharge papers from hospital in the state my sister moved her to had on their papers to stop giving it to her..by this time I'm assuming my sister is a complete idiot and I had to explain that discharge papers are the caregiver (YOUR) instructions on how to care for the patient being released into your care. Not something to be just crumpled up and thrown in the glove box..ugh like what medication to stop taking etc
Well mom got out of hospital after 2 months of fighting for her life and I spent all that time explaining things to my sister and I'm about to go visit them again due to they put mom on hospice and my sister is still giving her Meloxicam. Mom never had heart issues, she lived alone with me coming by every day, taking her to doctor, grocery shopping and such, then my sister moves her to another state and does what she try inks is best against doctors advice or what they say to do.
My sister is giving her meloxicam, Eliquis, Prozac, clopidogrel,triamterene hydrochlorothiazide and I believe that her issues with the internal abdominal bleeding out of no where and heart condition is due to the meloxicam interactions. Maybe I'm wrong and grasping, but when I see the doctors on discharge papers not to give it to her it issues me off. I love my mom. What do I do
