Hello all! My dad is an Alzheimer’s patient. He has been taking a medicine called Risper…something like this Risperdal, I think since some 5 months and now the doctor has prescribed him Ebixa. He has been taking this since last week and yesterday I noticed a lump that has developed on his head. I read the side effects of Ebixa and nothing of this sort has been mentioned. Could it be that dad is allergic to the medicine? I phoned the doc yesterday buy he is out of town. I don’t know what to do in this situation…Should I stop giving him this drug?

I would call the ER and ask a triage nurse or the Doctor on call there if it is scaring you that much

What type of lump and where is it
Did he perhaps bang his head??
sorry for all the ?? but I dont think the med would cause theis hun BUT like I said please do call a doc at the ER just for your own peace of mind

You please take care and let me know how you and him make out

God BLess

In Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, we have medical walk-in clinics in every neighbourhood. I have always found them to be very good. If your own doctor isn't available, it's the way to go. I think Lyn is right that it's probably a bump, but why not have peace of mind by having someone check it out?
