Taking medications at the same time every day why is it important?

The effect of medicines can vary depending on the time of day they are taken. The main reason for this is the body's biological clock, also known as circadian rhythms. Because the activity of enzymes that break down drugs in the liver is higher in the morning, some medications are metabolized faster, while in the evening their effect may last longer.

According to Medianews.az and Russian specialist doctor, Candidate of Chemical Sciences Aleksey Panov, blood pressure medications are often more effective when taken in the evening, and statins yield better results during the night when cholesterol synthesis increases. At the same time, changing the intake time for some medications can be dangerous because having too low or too high levels of the drug in the blood reduces its effect and increases the risk of side effects.

Doctors recommend adhering to the instructions for medication use and not changing the time of intake without medical advice.//Milli.Az
