Common medications people often take at incorrect times:

Statins, like Simvastatin

Best consumed in the evening as cholesterol production peaks at night. A dose before bed can enhance effectiveness.

Iron supplements

Best on an empty stomach, ideally first thing in the morning before breakfast. Bear in mind, dairy, tea, and coffee can hinder absorption.

Levothyroxine, for an underactive thyroid

Best to take first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes prior to consuming food and drink to minimise absorption.

Known as NSAIDS, these tablets can upset the stomach - so it's recommended to take them with food or a glass of milk.

Certain ADHD medications, such as methylphenidate

Stimulant ADHD medications can lead to insomnia if taken too late in the day, hence morning doses are advised to manage symptoms during waking hours without disturbing sleep.
