Dear patient,
The medication prescribed is a combined diuretic that can put you at risk for dehydration; the prescribing physician should assess your father now to see if there is evidence of excessive fluid now that he has started the medication, and also run some basic blood tests to look at the kidney function and electrolytes.
Yours truly,
