Patient: My Mother is 80 Years old and currently as inspected by an Orthopadeic surgeon She is having no space is knee joints, and sever pain. He prescribed -- ETODY 90 ZEVIT PROTHIADEN 25 RABEKIND 20 Need to know whether these drugs are OK and sued for whic purpose Doctor: Hello,  The medicine is used for this purposes since your mother is 80 and have reduced joint space.  Etody - anti-inflammatory drug - used for reducing inflammation in the jointZevit prothiaden - is an anti-depression drug which will help her have good sleep in the night which may have got affected due to painRabekind - is for any gastric issues caused due to the medicine mentioned above.  As the knee joint space is reduced, I will advise undergoing physiotherapy treatment like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for reducing inflammation and pain. This works well in combination with drug therapy. Also, exercises will be implemented by the physiotherapist like static hamstring, static quadriceps and straight leg raise to improve the muscle strength and help improve the joint space.  In my clinical practice of over 12 years, geriatrics respond well to a combination of conservative therapy.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
