Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear patient, First I must congratulate you for keeping yourself so fit. The drug you are taking is appropriate for you. You have not mentioned the time since your dose was increase to 50 as minimum one week is needed for the change in dose to show effective results. So, if it is less than 1 week wait for effect to kick in and if it is more than 1 week then you can take a Revlol 25 mg in addition to revlol 50mg . take 50mg at bed time and 25 mg in morning. Regards
