Should I Wait Till Morning To Take Losartan After Being Off From Benicar?
Been taking Benicar for a couple years, and now have been off of it for about 4 days. Just got Losartan (100mg) and not sure if I should wait until morning to take it (when I always took my Benicar) or take it now (it s after 5 pm) and continue with it in the evenings? I know my bp is higher during the day, so I m not sure what to do. Thanks so much in advance. I m a 38-year-old man and about 200 lbs. Justin

Dear sir
If you are not able to control bloodmpressure with single drug, there is no point in rising the dosage of the drug as it may cause class related side effects
The effective way to control blood pressure throughout the day is by selecting different class of drugs and spacing it properly.
So decide with your doctor and space the drugs properly
Thanks
