can medicines cause lifting?

[new2this]

Hi, I have a problem with my 71 year old mums nails.
They won't stay on!!! :irked: After 4 or 5 days they start to 'ping' off. I don't have a problem with anyone elses and wondered if its to do with her medicines or age. Shes definately not picking them off as theres no trauma to the nail plate at all. She takes strong painkillers for arthritis and tablets for thyroid problems. Has anyone else come across this with older ladies or certain tablets?

Yes, medicines and health conditions can cause lifting.

According to what I was taught, medication, recent surgeries (due to anesthetic remaining in the body for months afterward), hormone fluctuations, body chemistry in general can all affect how a product will "take."

I have clients whose resin manicures have lasted 6 weeks, I had one the other day who claims to have had it "pop off" the next darn day (*grr*).
