[in-need-of-info]

Anybody know if vancomycin or nexium could affect the brain in the elderly. For example, finding the right words when trying to express something. These are 2 new drugs my grandfather is on. He's also on Vicodin, and I'm worried. Any info would be appreciated.

I found no mental side effects related to Nexium or Vancomycin. However, I found some side effects of the Vicoden which could explain his change in mental status. These side effects include mental clouding, impaired mental and physical preformance, mood changes, and lethargy.
