Dear patient,
It is likely based on the drugs that dad is diabetic and hypertensive. His medications are atorvastatin (Atocor for cholesterol), aspirin (Ecosprin, to thin the blood a bit), amlodipine (Amcard, for blood pressure) and glyburide (Glynase, for diabetes).
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
