General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, Exforge has a good combination of anti-hypotensive drugs and can work very well for your blood pressure. Regarding time, it should be taken in the morning as it would work smoothly through the day and second thing is Exforge can cause frequent urination at night, that may be disturbing your sleep. So, it's better to take the medicine in the morning. But, it can be taken anytime. Sometimes it can cause lowering of significant blood pressure, that may cause dizziness (we call this postural hypotension).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
