Hello Mr Joshi.
Your medicine are perfectly in order.
Amlogard and telmisartan are for your blood pressure, and veltum is for prostate. Though veltum is known to cause decrease in blood pressure in general population it is nit clinically significant.
If your lipids are in order and no other risk factors you may decrease atacor dose and completely move over it.
Rest wishing you the best of Health.
