[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1277480, member: 41816"] Have a look online for info about the med. you should be able to find lots of info. My only experience of bp meds was Amlodipine. My nurse told me to take it in the morning. But online research revealed that it was most effective 14 hours after taking, so much better taken in the evening, so it would have most effect the next morning. Bp is usually higher in the mornings. Another interesting factoid was how long it lasted in the body (72 hrs), and how it built up with successive doses. Obviously, your Losartan will probably act differently, but worth reading up on it, in case you see a reason or contraindications why your bp is still too high. I would contact your doc anyway. Those readings are higher than you want, and you shouldn't be that high without your doc knowing. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
