Taking Medication?

[UKSWF]

Hi guys, I hope some can advise me, I have been prescribed medication for high blood pressure by my Doctors, It says to take it before food, but how long before food? Any comments please guys? Thanks in advance

don't think it really matters how long. just not on an empty stomach ( I am not a dr, ) :)

what is the medication?
AA if you take it before food, your stomach will be empty lol. Take with or after food is usual for the not on an empty stomach meds

Most people do it before the first course
perhaps with a refreshing small glass of dry sherry

Read the instruction leaflet that comes with the drug or ask the pharmacist when you get the drug.

It doesn't matter.
If you BP tablet is also a diuretic, then take it during the day and not at night as going to the toilet may interrupt your sleep.
