Hi,

Your medication contains Olmesartan and Metoprolol which decrease the blood pressure by different mechanisms and duration. In particular, Olmesartan has a long duration of action and may be contributory to your low blood pressure in the evening. What we usually do is adjust the dose depending on your blood pressure levels. You may have been on blood pressure control due to correct diet and exercise that is why you are already having lower blood pressure levels with the present dose. And I recommend a follow up with your doctor for proper dose adjustment to avoid low blood pressures.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Daryl Derick B. Dizon, General & Family Physician
