I taje enalapril, so it sounds a bit similar. My doctor told me to take it in the morning. You get the list of side effects on the instructions that come with the medicine.

my doctor has a lower dose of pills and told me take it tea time or bed time

Very strange indeed as I told my GP that I used to take it at bedtime and he told me that it's the wrong thing to do as you don't need the medicine during the nighr. I suppose one is not active then and maybe the blood pressure is at its lowest anyway.

I take Ramipril at bedtime. The side effect that bothers me is a dry mouth. I take other tablets too so they may be the cause. The dryness goes into my throat too and I have to have a glass of water atmy bedside .
