hi
both losartan & atenolol are very good & safe drugs
with accurate control on the blood pressure.
with the cholesterol levels coming down this dose is enough
the later part of continuing drugs can be decided after checking the blood pressure after 2 weeks as advised by your doctor
all the best
take care
