Hello, Dieter (@dieterreuther)

I have to agree with @gmoore36. You should talk with your prescriber, possibly your primary, about this. I have reached that stage in life where my medications are dizzying in number. I try not to pass up any opportunity when I have a follow-up with my primary to have a medication-by-medication discussion, asking of each: Is this still doing me any good? Might there be something else I can take instead? And the most important question of all: Must I continue taking this? I have a similar discussion with my primary about the various supplements she has recommended over the years. Fewer and fewer of each––medications and supplements––is my goal.

Best wishes,
Cheers!

Thank you @ray666. Fewer and fewer is my goal as well. You never know how the various medications and supplement interact with each other.
