HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the dose of medicine actually depends upon the clinical condition and according to that dose of medicine being maintained, in my opinion better to have once in day because it is given to you in the beginning, as matter of factor it need to be discussed with the physician because they know the clinical history, here it is not being given hope this information helps, take care.
