The correct way to take antihypertensive drugs is determined by blood pressure characteristics. Most people’s blood pressure has a spoon-shaped distribution, with two peak blood pressure peaks at 6-10 am and 4-8 pm, and at night. Especially at 2-3 o'clock in the morning, the blood pressure value is the lowest, showing the characteristics of two peaks and one valley. According to this blood pressure characteristic, long-acting antihypertensive drugs are often chosen and taken after getting up in the morning, thereby helping to control blood pressure.

There are also some patients with hypertension whose blood pressure is not high during the day, but their blood pressure rises at night. This is often called reverse-spoon blood pressure in clinical practice. At this time, antihypertensive drugs can be considered before going to bed. Of course, if possible, it is recommended to conduct 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and choose the appropriate time to take antihypertensive drugs based on blood pressure conditions.

At present, long-acting antihypertensive drugs are mostly used as antihypertensive drugs, such as amlodipine besylate, irbesartan, valsartan, etc. Taking long-acting antihypertensive drugs can reduce excessive fluctuations in blood pressure, thereby reducing the impact of blood pressure on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
