Aspirin which many patients take as a prevention should be taken preferably with the evening meal and not in the morning or at lunch time.

This makes it safer and it will be more effective.

Many patients are taking medicines for hypertension.

One of the most used medicines are ACE blockers, in Israel often Ramipril [Tritace]

Blood pressure medicines are best taken in the evening, except maybe for the beta blockers.

Important to know that Ramipril is best taken twice a day for a better effect.

So, if you are taking for example 5 mg per day then divide this in twice a day 2.5 mg [morning and evening]

Many patients take the whole dose once a day which may make the drug less effective.
