Q: my 74 yr old mothers medication

No one is going to be able to tell you if these are good or bad, without your mother having an examination. It's very likely she needs mediation changes, and only a doctor can do that. Can you get her to a doctor for another reason? Is her blood pressure an issue? Does she have allergies? If you get her there for something else, and write a letter to the physician ahead of the appointment telling her what you are really there for, you may get some results.
