Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that Angisar can be taken once in the morning or twice daily ( morning and evening).

If your blood pressure values are under control (below 125/85mm Hg) most of the time, it is OK to take 1tablet in the morning.

Otherwise, if your blood pressure values are high, I would recommend taking one tab twice daily in order to help control your blood pressure values better.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,
