Hello
Welcome here.
Antihypertensives are changed to another class if patient was not responding on drug of one class.
Tricinod is not a higher power than aten 25 but just belongs to a different group of drugs. I think your husband's BP was not being controlled by aten. So the drug was changed.
Some lifestyle modifications like exercises regularly, low salt and low fat diet are essential for him. This might reduce the need of antihypertensive drug. If the BP is controlled with this, he may gradually reduce the dose and might not need it for lifetime.
Please keep a regular follow-up with your doctor.
Thanks.
