Hi

This is a pretty general question but when in your opinion is the the best time of day to take the above medication?

I have been prescribed the above by my GP who says I can't have the operation I need until I start taking them- its a long story!

All I'd like to know is when do people take this particular medication i.e early morning , last thing at night etc and whether you should take it with food or drink or both. I know how one responds to medication is very individual but I could do with a few tips

Thanks for your help

Good morning. All I can advise is either ask your doctor or nurse the quickest and easier way is to ask your farmacy. They should be able to help. Hope everything goes well 🙏 Brian

firstly, always look at the pack insert. If this doesn’t help, then yes either the dispensing pharmacist or, even better, the one employed by your doctor’s group of surgeries - your practice leaflet online should guide you as to how to contact that person.

Check on the instructions on the boxes of tablets or ask the pharmacy. And there are instructions leaflets in the boxes with lots of good advice too.

I take them after my breakfast.

Hi, I was advised morning administration & to wear a health band with info on it in case of emergency ie bleeding ect.

I would say start taking it at whatever time of day you are most likely to remember. It’s very important to take it at a regular time each day. I take mine with breakfast each morning because I eat breakfast at the same time every day of the week.

I was told to take in morning by my cardiologist as you exercise more during day
