The dose of medicine you have mentioned , were carefully checked. They are with in the recommended therapeutic range. Reducing the doses of these medicines may do harm. They are given for prevention of further development of blocks in the coronary arteries and to reduce the risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hence kindly continue the medicines as per the advised dose. Tab. prasita can be stopped after one year and other medicines may have to be continued life long.
