the two medications that you are taking are both blood pressure medications that work different ways to help lower your blood pressure. hydrochlorothiazide is best to take in the morning to help with diuresis during the day rather than night when you are trying to sleep. metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can cause drowsiness dizziness or impaired thinking. all these side effects may wear off by the time you wake up in the morning. therefore taking it at night before bed may be best for you. how you are taking the medication is fine since they both work in different ways to help control your blood pressure. just watch for hypotensive effects or dizziness in the morning when you’re trying to get out of bed. if this occurs you may want to take the metoprolol earlier than midnight. you should also monitor your pulse to make sure it doesn’t get too low. consult your pharmacist and health care provider if any of these symptoms persist.
if i take hydrochlorothiazide in the morning at 6 a. m. and a metoprolol at 12 midnight is that too close together?
