Yes, but: Take your BP med the next day as prescribed. The one med i may tell you to not take late in the day knowing you will take it the next morning is Amlodipine (norvasc), which has a long half life of around 24 hours.

My mother takes Losartan-Hydrochlorothiazide (50/25) daily in the morning, however, recently her blood pressure keeps going up during the day above 160 and the back up cardiologist did not provide any solution. What to do? Can another pill be taken?

A member asked:

Good morning doctors. I take Losartan HCTZ 100mg and Metoprolol ER 100mg. Would it be better (or not better) for my blood pressure control to have both medications with a diuretic/water pill?

A member asked:

Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?
