Hello,
Although missing the BP pills can affect the mental state since its a scheduled drug, loss of memory could also be due to other factors.
Without the age details and proper medical history, it is difficult to ascertain the exact cause of loss of memory. Make sure he takes his BP pills regularly as prescribed by the physician.
If the loss of memory still persists, you may have to refer to a psychiatrist/psychologist to know the exact reason.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
