Verapamil, Metformin, Losartan, Xarelto And Lovastatin (Top voted first)

I take one Verapamil SR 240 mg tablet per day. I've been taking it at lunchtime (at approx. 12-12:30) with food. Is this the best time of day to take it? I also take other prescribed meds: 2 Metformin, 1 Losartan, 1 Xarelto and 1 Lovastatin. Presently, I take Losartan in the early a.m.; Xarelto at 6:30p.m.; Metformin in the a.m. and p.m.; and Lovastatin at bedtime. I was taken off of Atenolol because of my low pulse. My main concern is the time of day to take the above meds because I do better on a schedule.

It really depends on what works best for you, unless your doctors gives some reason that you should take them at others times.

The FDA warns that you may experience side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea.

How are you doing with the way you are currently taking them?

Many doctors recommend that they be taken once daily, but usually that is only to help keep someone in the habit of taking them, because many people forget to take a second, or third dosage.

Re: Verwon (# 1)

I am keeping a chart to see if certain times to take my meds are better than others. I also have AFib and I am not sure when I have "a spell" if it's the BP or AFib. At times I get light-headed, short of breath, all I want to do is lie down until it goes away, and it always does. Dr. is working with me on this, but so far haven't come up with any solution.
