What time of day should I take Edarbi? ## What has your doctor advised? Edarbi is most commonly used to help treat high blood pressure and, in most cases, it's usually taken in the morning, to help control your blood pressure during the times of day you will be most active and experience the most fluctuations. However, it can cause drowsiness as a side effect, so some people prefer to take it at night. ## Hi yaw, The dosing and administration guidelines for Edarbi state the following: "Azilsartan comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. To help you remember to take azilsartan, take it around the same time every day.

i have been using repace h 50mg for 1yr now ,and my bp remain 130/80 with know side efect can i stop taking them? ## Hello, Wachira! How are you? No, it is not a good idea to just stop taking them, that could actually be very dangerous. If you abruptly stop them, it could cause a rebound effect that may cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go very high, which could put you in life threatening danger. Additionally, if it is the only thing keeping your blood pressure at more normal levels, it will start to go up again, if you're no longer taking the medication. Learn more Losartan details here. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. What has your doctor advised? ## Dear sir. My self teju my wife suffering from mysthiniya gravis past 6 month she si taken tablets now steroi...

I noticed one of my pills was missing. I thought it was my losaartan 100 mg so i took another one, not sure if it was my allopurinol or losartan that i took originaly. What should i do or expect if it was 2 losartan? ## @Just wondering, I noticed that you posted this back on 12/10/2016. I'm just wondering (no pun intended) how things have turned out for you since this incident took place? Since Losartan is used to treat hypertension, I'd suspect that you probably would've experienced some degree of low blood pressure for the duration of its terminal half-life (2 hours); after which the half the dose is no longer working... Did you encounter any unusual side effects at that time? Be well~

Hi! Is it ok to split the dose of amlodipine; 5mg in the morning and 5mg in the evening?

Seeking remedial advice regarding Nebicard 5mg for high bp at 220/128 along with Ecosprin 500mg taken once daily at night. ## Ecosprin will not help lower your blood pressure, it is just used as blood thinner and for heart health, according to NIH reports.

I started taking kin tablets for the past one month but am seeing no significant reduction in the level of blood pressure measurement. I.E. it was 160/105 when started taking kin tabs. It came down to 139/91 two weeks ago. Today it measured 160/105, 154/102, and 155/101. ## What dosage are you taking and how often do you take them? And when are you checking it? Is it immediately after activity? After you're eating? And how close together in time are you checking it? As reported by the NIH, all of these factors can affect your readings, at any given time. Do you also eat a healthy, low salt and low fat diet? Do you make sure to get plenty of exercise? Are you on any other medications?
