Nope: The only reasony why you would not want to take it in the eveneing is that it will be waking you up several times in the middle of the night to pee. Depending on the diuretic they may have different half life. In the case of furosemide aka LASIX the name lasix comes from it LASTING SIX hrs (half life). So you can change times. It does not have to be in the AM. There might be a more conv. time 4 U
