It's always better to take your BP medication early in the morning as soon as you get up from the bed. Cholesterol medications are preferably taken in the evening. Avoid taking too many tablets of BP medicines without advice from your physician. Check your BP regularly and dose of medication should be adjusted after consulting your doctor. Don't do it on your own. High dose of BP medication will cause low blood pressure and they have their own adverse effects so be careful in future.
