What Is The Best Time To Take Lotrel 5/10mg To Control Bp?
I was just prescribed lotrel 5/10 for recurring high blood pressure. today my bp was 190/110. I am a 40 year old female 5'1" tall and weight 200 lbs. I have recently lost 28 lbs. and have been feeling great. I am wondering what is the best time to take my lotrel as the information insert says that lotrel may impair my ability to drive or operate machinery. I also have a hgb of 10.8 for which I take 3 flintstone vitamins with iron as I am unable to tolerate ferrous sulfate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Every person using a BP tablet requires a day time control. Hence for you the first tablet should go in your system on waking up and the next about 8 hrs later. As your Bp is very high a twice daily dose should be initiated for you
I hope that helps your cause
