When Should High Blood Pressure And Insomnia Medications Be Taken For Better Effectiveness?

Hi, I am having a bit of confusion here.My mother is having High BP,and unable to fall asleep an interventional cardiologist prescribed Telvas am twice a day.He also prescribed Nexito plus 5 mg.Two weeks later we again consulted doctor,and said nexito plus is causing immense fatigue and tiredness all day,he said to use nexito 5 mg and some other sleeping pill,which i dont remember its name (dose is 2.5 mg).She had these two tablets at 8:30 pm and even at 11:00 pm,she is unable to sleep.Can you suggest a better time to use the tablets keeping in mind that she has BP and insomnia due to High Bp?

Hello,

Side effect of Nexito are fatigue, increased sweating, insomnia, etc. You are suggested to report to the treating doctor about the symptoms she is experiencing so that she can be monitored, the medicine changed to other, that suits her better or change in dosage. Nexito is used to treat anxiety, depression, panic attack, etc.

Your mother is advised to get connected to a Physical therapist to get treated for insomnia. A combination treatment with medicines and Physical therapy if required Psychotherapy will be given to help her get rid of insomnia. Only taking medicines may not help. Help her maintain a normal BP at all cost.

She should continue to take the medicines she is prescribed. Consult the treating doctor & let him do the necessary changes in prescription. Nexito is commonly taken regularly at the same time each day. In case patients have sleeping problems then they are advised to take it in the morning.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
