When is the best time for me to take high blood pressure medicine?
I am a 20 year old female and just got prescribed 10mg lisinopril to take once a day. I havent started them yet because I don't know whether or not to take them in the morning or night. My friend told me that the best time to take it will be when I wake up because during the day is when your blood pressure could get high from stress or whatever else.
So what do yall think?
Thanks in advance.

With lisinopril it doesn’t really matter, but I tell my patients to take it in the morning just to help them not forget to take it, as most people have a morning routine that they can plug their pills into.

You should take the very first dose in the morning just to be sure you have no reaction to it. However, this is really a question for the prescribing doctor’s office.
