A member asked:

When is the best time to take losartan & doxazosin for bp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Night time: There's no mandatory time but many people find that taking meds at bedtime works because they remember to take them as part of their bedtime routine and side effects are minimized because the peak blood levels occur during sleep. Alternatively, some people like to split them up: one in the am, one in the pm.
