Is Losartan Intake Every Morning And Amlodipine Intake In The Evening Advisable?
I ve just been prescribed amlodipine (5 mg). I am also taking Losartan (100 mg). I also understand that amlodipine could cause sleepiness. Since I usually have trouble falling asleep, it makes sense to me to take the amlodipine in the evening and the losartan in the morning. Does this make sense?

Hello,
It has no major effect on hypertension if you take Amlodipine 5mg mornings or evenings. You may take Losartan in the morning and Amlodipine in the evening if the last one helps you sleep better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
