Hello.
For a 60-year-old, multivitamin and calcium supplements can help support general health and bone strength. Revital Women can be taken as a multivitamin, but dizziness should not be ignored as it may also be related to blood pressure, low hemoglobin, or other causes.
In the meantime you may consider:
• Ensuring adequate hydration
• Balanced diet with calcium-rich foods
• Regular BP monitoring
Since treatment depends on the exact cause of dizziness, a detailed review would be helpful. You may book an online consultation for proper evaluation and personalized treatment guidance.

Yes, you can give your mother a multivitamin and calcium supplement, but since she is 50 years old and taking Amlovas‑AT (amlodipine + atorvastatin for BP/cholesterol), it is better to choose supplements carefully and monitor BP.
You can give Revital Women, which contains multiple vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, and ginseng that support energy, immunity, and bone health. 
However, multivitamins with minerals can slightly reduce the effect of amlodipine, so BP should be monitored and the medicines should not be taken at the same time. 
Also, since she has dizziness, it is important to ensure that it is not due to low BP, anemia, vitamin deficiency, or dehydration.
Next Steps
• You may give:
• Revital Women – 1 tablet once daily after breakfast
• Calcium + Vitamin D tablet (for example:
• Shelcal 500 or
• Caldikind Plus)
→ 1 tablet after dinner
• Keep 2–3 hours gap between Revital and her BP medicine.
• Check these basic tests if dizziness continues:
• Hemoglobin (CBC)
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Blood pressure monitoring
Health Tips
• Encourage daily walking, sunlight exposure (15–20 minutes) for bone health.
• Include milk, curd, almonds, sesame seeds, green vegetables for natural calcium.
• Ensure adequate water intake, as dehydration can cause dizziness.
• If dizziness happens while standing up suddenly, it may be due to postural BP drop, so she should get up slowly.

✅ If you want, you can also tell me:
• Whether the dizziness happens while standing, walking, or suddenly,
• Her BP readings,
and I can guide you more precisely so your mother gets the safest treatment.

Loose motions for several days with abdominal discomfort can happen due to infection or stomach irritation.
Ensure good hydration with ORS and light diet. If symptoms continue or weakness increases, medical check-up is needed.
