General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear patient please understand that both these tablets have different functions. Loprin is low dose aspirin( a blood thinner) and should be taken at bed time. Co-eziday contains two antihypertensive medicines to control your B.P, one is losartan and other is hydrochlorothiazide. Ideally antihypertensive if taken once a day should be taken at bed time but hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic and will disturb your sleep due to frequent urination,so you should take it in morning as soon as you get so that diuresis gets over by the time you are ready for office. As both tablets have different functions there is no question of taking them on alternate day. Regards
