My dad is 58 years old and he had a stroke, behind his right eye in his brain. He has double vision. Should he be on 4 different blood pressue medicines and a strong pain medicine at the same time? Is that good or bad?

Consult a doctor, 4 different kind of blood pressure meds should not be necessery, one kind taken regulary and a second kind for emergency cases. Is the usualy treatment.

it really depends on the medication. it is not uncommon to be on 4 different BP meds. normal pain meds do not interfere with bp meds unless it is a specialty pain medication. it would help a bunch to know exactly what the meds are, then i could use clinical pharmocology to see if there is any interactions.

If he is seeing one doctor who prescribed all this than I suggest seeing another. Next visit to the doctors discuss your concerns and if you are not satisfied try to see another doctor.

I would suggest calling and asking your local pharmacist. They really don't mind answering questions, and they will know if there are any bad combinations.
