Hello there,
Thank you for the question. The medicines you are on are for Cholesterol and High Blood pressure (BP). Yes you need to be on these medicines for life. They are very commonly used and very safe in terms of long term usage. Usually the medicine doses may be changed based on your BP and cholesterol level. The only thing of concern right now is that inspite of being on AVOS F your triglyceride levels are very high. I would suggest please get a fasting blood sugar, Post meal blood sugar and HbA1c (average sugar) checked to make sure that the reason for your high triglyceride is not high sugars and also kidney function test. Other than that there is no harm in taking the above medicines for life which you need to take to maintain your BP and Cholesterol under control.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
