Amlodipine - blood pressure and angina
Levothyroxine - thyroid
furosemide - blood pressure and edema
Metoprolol - blood pressure and angina
Metformin - Type 2 diabetes
Plavix - blood thinner.
Food for thought!

More interesting simply changing to a Vegan diet would likely eliminate the need for all of them except Plavix.
