Mr. Dafydd Davies is a regular customer at your pharmacy. Today he comes in to refill his blood pressure medication Diovan HCT. When you review his medication profile, you identify that there may be an opportunity to improve medication adherence.  Adherence is an issue because the patient does not like metformin because it caused bad diarrhea and he had to go to the bathroom 3-4 times a day. He knows it is important to control his blood sugar. Can you recommend another medication that causes less diarrhea?
