Patient's question:
I now need to take high blood pressure medication every time. Hello, what is the best time to take high blood pressure medication orally?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition, the diagnosis of hypertension is clear. The duration of medication for hypertension should be chosen based on the oral medication taken. Depending on whether you are taking long-acting, medium-acting, or short-acting antihypertensive drugs, the dosing schedule varies: long-acting antihypertensive drugs are usually taken at 8 a.m. and provide continuous blood pressure control for 24 hours, requiring only one dose per day. Medium-acting drugs require two doses per day, taken in the morning and evening. Short-acting drugs need to be taken in the morning, noon, and evening.
