The only things left: R Tylenol (acetaminophen) and aspirin. These R OTC meds. There are drugs such as neurontin or lyrica. Whom ever she is treating with needs to be up on her past medical history as well as taking note of any comorbidities. The older a person becomes, they need close supervision.
