DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN BUT YOU REALY DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR BP THERE ARE MILD FLUCTUATIONS SEEN IN AUTOMATED BP MACHINES
AND REGARDING YOUR CONCERN ABOUT TIMING OF THE DOSE THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES ABOUT IT BUT I PREFER TO GIVE THEM TO MY PATIENTS AT BED TIME..
YOU MAY HOWEVER TAKE IT ONCE A DAY AFTER EVERY 24HRS
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
