I was prev on losartan 50 mg 1 x a day now i am on atenelol 25 mg 2x a day. is atenelol just as effective as losartan if you compare the two.

No: Atenolol is not as effective as Losartan. Losartan is a first generation ARB and is weakest in its class. Because it is cheap HMOs use it . Also please check Atenolol is given only once a day.
