Question: Dr

I take exforge 5/160 everyday at 5pm. I wasn't sure I took it today so I took a pill at 2am. Should I be worried?

Brief Answer:
No need to get concerned

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Exforge (Amlodipine and Valsartan) is a blood pressure medication and helps in maintaining a stable blood pressure. Since you were not sure, you have done the right thing by taking it at 2am. There is nothing to be worried about. However, other than on this occasion, maintain 5pm as the schedule dose time.

Let me know if I could help further.
