Hello
Welcome here.
Olimelt can cause hypertriglyceridemia (raised blood lipids) and raised blood sugar.
In my opinion, aripiprazole would be a better choice for your father. This does not increase lipids and sugar levels.
As all antipsychotics can cause QT prolongation, you must keep a regular follow-up with your cardiologist.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
