It has a long half-life of 35-48 hours, so the effect of the drug can completely cover the whole day 24 hours. Theoretically, the ideal drug concentration can be maintained at any time of the day.

As individual patients with hypertension vary greatly, it is recommended to take the drug orally in the morning after waking up if the patient’s blood pressure is mainly high during the day, or at noon or after dinner if the patient’s blood pressure is mainly high in the afternoon to evening or even at night.
