HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though it is over 12 hours since you would normally use the medication, since it is within the same 24 hour period, you can use it.
You would need to delay the next day dose to approximately 12 noon the next day.
By the following day, you can start taking at your normal time ( 7 am)
You can monitor your blood pressure readings if you have a home monitor.
