My husband was treated for dehydration and admitted to the hospital on the Friday of Father’s Day and released on Father’s Day but is still not drinking very much and by that I mean maybe 6-8 ounces of water a day and is always too tired to get out of bed. He has been in the Exelon for almost two months
Could his symptoms be a side effect of this drug?
Thank you and God Bless
Thank you so much Lynn. Sometimes a senior moment hits and I cannot think outside the box
Thank you for reminding me
God Bless
I think jello and watermelon are also considered fluids. I keep some around for hubs. I have also seen jelly candies for hydration advertised. Mom started having hydration issues during her last year, so her team gave her broths, juice and any sort of fluid that she requested.
Maybe try a fruit juice and mix it up ❤️
Always have a large container filled with water and in courage to drink ❤️
What a caring and attentive partner you are for noticing these changes and asking such an important question. It's absolutely worth looking into whether Exelon (rivastigmine) could be contributing to your husband's fatigue and low fluid intake.
Exelon belongs to a class of medications called acetylcholinesterase Show Full Answer
