Your doctor wrote you a prescription for blood pressure medication, and you’re wondering: When’s the best time to take it?. There’s been some debate over the answer in recent years. Most notably, a study of more than 19,000 adults published in 2019 in the European Heart Journal found that people with high blood pressure — also referred to as hypertension — who took their medication at bedtime significantly lowered their risk of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular event, compared with those who took their blood pressure pills in the morning. That research was followed up by a large clinical trial﻿, published in The Lancet in 2022, that found there was no real difference in heart attack and stroke risk in people who took their blood pressure medication in the morning versus the evening.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
