my husband is taking homochek and astitom 2 mg for the last 1.5 yrs. He had a paralytic attack and after that he was recommended these medicines. For the last few weeks he is facing some irregular numbness on his fingers of his right hand. Is this any side effect of the medicines??
Hi, Citron is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). The common side effects are bleeding tendencies, chest pain, dizziness. Numbness and tingling is a less common side effect of the action. Similarly, with a home check- it mainly is used for high cholesterol and anemia and its common side effects are abdominal discomfort or diarrhea. I feel that along with this we must look for and rule out some other causes for his numbness. Get some investigations done like complete blood count, vitamin B12 levels, sugar levels, and nerve conduction studies. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
