What is the best time of day to take blood pressure medicine, morning or evening!


Question:

What is the best time of day to take blood pressure medicine, morning or evening?


Answers:

It depends on what it is.
If you are taking something that is going to cause you to be up all night urinating, you should take it earlier. (IE Thiazides or other diuretics)
I think beta blockers can cause nightmares and insomnia, so I would take it in the morning, too.
I don't think calcium channel blockers , alpha blockers, or ACE inhibitors will cause night time problems but you could wake up dizzy.
My best suggestion to you would be to consult with your doctor or pharmacist. Pharmacists are probably the best resource and the more readily available (and free!).
