2025-03-05 11:39:11
My 63 year old father has high blood pressure and a history of stroke. He is currently experiencing a stroke with speech difficulties and paralysis in his right hand and leg. He is on medication (stamlo) and has been struggling with not able to sleep for few months . A previous sleep medication did not work . A pharmacist recently prescribed Alprazolam 0.25 mg. So is it safe for him to take this medication?

First,  we need to check the causes of lack of sleep,  alprazolam , though it may help , it will results in drug dependency, my advice is , not to go with a pharmacy person advice,  better  consult a neurologist near by you
