Brief Answer:
At 5am

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you are taking the evening dose at 5pm then the next dose should be taken at 5am. It is best to avoid taking any milk products within 1 hour of taking the medicine to avoid interactions.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
