Question : I now take lipitor (10 mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) daily in the morning. I would like to change and take them before I go to bed at night... I also take Advil PM before bed... can I take all of these together at night ? Do you anticipate any interruption in sleep? thanks. XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
It is better to take Hydrochlorthiazise in the morning and Lipitor at night

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

For Lipitor it is better to take it at night, as cholesterol levels are higher at night.
But I wouldn't advise you to take Hydrochlorthyazide at night, as it is a diuretic and could cause some inconvenience in case you take it at night.
Usually diuretics are prescribed in the morning.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
