yes,it is ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

Yes,Losartan and Atenolol can be used together to treat high blood pressure.There is no major interaction between these drugs.
When only a medication can't keep the blood pressure on normal values ,then another drug from a different class of antihypertensive drugs ,is added.Losartan and Atenolol is a frequent combination to manage high blood pressure.

Hope it helps.

Please feel free to ask for every question you might have.

Kind regards,
