You may take the drug now and continue to take the rest of the course as advised by your doctor.
It's better to follow the dosage and timing of drugs as prescribed.You may like to keep some reminder to aid you not to forget medications.
One of the most common causes of treatment failure in high blood pressure is non compliance with medication and it has caused many complications on heart, kidneys etc
Hope you comply with the treatment plan and get reviewed by your doctor regularly till warranted.If you have any further doubts feel free to ask.
