I work at a hospital as a nurse, and some of my patients take it in the morning, some in the evening, some at bedtime. If you have concerns, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. If the pill bottle just says take one tablet daily, then it really doesn't matter. As long as you take it as directed. And if you forget a pill, don't double up. Just go back to your normal routine.

Our blood pressure is usually highest between 10am-2pm. This means that when you take your Norvasc at 7 or 8am, this will give the medication time to peak at around 11am-12noon. However, if you work night shifts and sleep during the day, then you might wanna take it in the late afternoon or early evening. The most important thing though, is to remember to take it everyday and to take it at the same time each day. This way, you have a constant level of the medication in your system.

You are resting at night. During the day your blood pressure rises. Norvasc's peak time is 6 -9 hours, so taking Norvasc at approximately around 7 am - 8- am. it should by peaked at about 1:00 pm, to control your blood pressure while you are doing your most stressful tasks of the day. You should also monitor your BP closely, to see when your blood pressure is it's highest and lowest, writing it down with the times of day taken. Then discuss this with your doctor, as to when he/she thinks you should take your medication.
