Brief Answer:
Losartan should be stopped in case of adverse events

Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,

Actually if you have side effects from Losaran, it should be withdrawn anyway.
If after stopping the medication your blood pressure doesn't increase, you should continue with your Filodipine and Bisoprol with the same doses. If you have raise in blood pressure, there will be need to increase either the dose of felodipine or add other medication.

Hope I could help you
