Hello!  I need some help for a foreign acquaintance of mine.  He's from the Ukraine, or thereabouts, and has been having memory problems.  His doctor discussed some meds with him, but he can't remember what they were, and now he's too embarassed to ask about them again!!??  I told him I'd see if we could get a list together, in the hopes that one (or more) of them would jump off the page at him, and he'd remember what he and his Dr. discussed.  Help me!
