Hi There
I have read the medical details provided by you of your father and I would like to tell you that JALRA contains VILDAGLIPTIN which is a newer anti diabetic medicine which acts by increasing the amount of insulin release from pancreas thereby controlling the blood sugar.
Yes it's safe to he used in heart patient. It can cause sometimes hypoglycaemia so you need to take the med as advised by the physician.
I wish your father Good health
