The same drug can have different effects depending on when you take it. This is due to your body's circadian rhythms.
Doctor Aleksey Panov explains that liver enzymes are most active between 6 AM and 12 PM. During this time, drugs break down faster.
In the evening, enzymes work slower, so drugs stay in the blood longer. Blood pressure medications are best taken at night.
Statins work better when taken at night. Diuretics should be taken in the morning to avoid disrupting sleep.
The doctor warns: never change the timing of your medication without consulting your doctor.
