Urbanol + Cilift + Ivedal
Please help - my mom is 80 years old and has been using Ivedal 10mg every night to sleep. A month ago (after she experianced some anxioty), her doctor added Cilift 20mg (1x per day) and Urbanol 10mg (2x per day).
She is, in total, now on: Urbanol 10mg (2x per day) + Cilift 20mg (1x per day) + Ivedal 10mg (1x per day).
She''s looking and acting like a zombi - please please advice.

Hi Leonie - Drowsiness, oversedation and dizziness are the adverse effectcs most frequently encountered with Urbanol, and the combination of medicines she's taking may even make these worse.
Treatment should be started with the lowest recommended dose and for elderly patients it is advised that the daily dose should be halved.
If you are worried, I suggest contacting her prescribing doctor: Her dose possibly need to be adjusted.
All the best!
