My mom is currently taking a CTD 12.5 tablet daily as her doctor prescribed. I've heard that generic medicines can be more affordable. Is there a generic version of this tablet you could recommend for us? I'm trying to find a more cost-effective option.

I'm feeling really dizzy and almost like I'm about to faint. I suddenly started sweating out of nowhere. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and maybe suggest some remedies for it?

You're likely experiencing a vasovagal attack or a panic attack, characterized by dizziness, fainting sensation, sweating, and possible nausea or palpitations; to alleviate symptoms, sit or lie down in a cool, quiet space, loosen tight clothing, take slow, deep breaths, and drink water or other hydrating fluids

Her doctor has prescribed quite a few meds like Dytor, Monit GTN, Orfer XT, Planep, Cardace, Rosucor, Ecosprin, Pantocid, and even insulin and the duolin inhaler.
