Take hypertension drugs at night

Duke University Medical Center reports that people with high blood pressure may benefit more by taking their medications at bedtime.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) tracks a person's blood pressure 24 hours a day. It shows that 62 percent of those taking at least one medication at night were able to control their blood pressure over a 24-hour period, compared with 53 percent of those who took them in the morning.
