Question: Would you please help me with dosing. Mother takes synthroid as soon as she wakes up. Before breakfast she takes 240mg cartia xt. I need to know when to give her the 325mg aspirin, 1 g garlic oil.
I had been giving the aspirin and garlic oil after breakfast. Her blood pressure an hour later has been 118/52.
In the evening her blood pressure is 130's over 80's.
I am thinking i need to move the aspirin and garlic oil to supper.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern regarding to your mother's health.
The aspirin does not affect the blood pressure, so it is important to give her 1 daily no matter when.
To be more comfort you may give them after lunch.
Synthroid should be taken in the morning with empty stomach and for 30 min she should not eat or drink anything.
Cartia has anti arythmic and antihypertensive effect and is extended release so should be taken once daily at the same time.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
