A member asked:

Is it best to take blood pressure medication before or after eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No difference: Most of today's blood pressure medications are taken once daily and work equally well whether they're taken 15to30 minutes before or after meals. You could check with your pharmacist to be sure.
