HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

No you can't do that because that will be a gross reduction in the amount of Blood Pressure medication taken. This shall result in sudden rise in Blood pressure which may cause complications.

If you really can't arrange for Aten D ( which is preferred ) then you can take Amtas AT 2 times a day till you get Aten D . Once you get Aten D you can resume your previous regime.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
