Hello and thank you for your question, but the complexity of this case does not permit me to properly counsel you or your better half on the matter. I strongly advise that you call her pharmacist. He.she possesses more information and will be better able to determine a treatment plan with you, as well as to follow up. Sorry for not being able to be more helpful, this question simply goes beyond the scope of whaf can be addressed on this platform. Tom Samaha, pharmacist
