My father forgot to take his medication this morning. I noticed this evening and so he took it all around 8pm.
Any medics here able to advise? What time should he take his Clopidogrel 75mg, Tamsulosin and Furosemide 20mg tomorrow and thereafter? Thanks in advance.

You need to check with his pharmacist tomorrow morning, it's no good asking on here.

Meanwhile, have a think about buying one of these

Fine to take as usual tomorrow morning

Bumping for you as I don’t know. Does the leaflet with the medication say anything? You can always ring 111 if you need advice before the pharmacies open.

He’ll probably be up all night peeing if he took frusemide at 8pm!

The tamsulosin can make his BP drop a bit so 2 doses in 12 hours on top of a bigger dose of frusemide than usual might make him feel quite faint, but also it might not. Probably best to see how he feels in the morning.

A dosette box may be a good idea if this could become a pattern.

Thanks for your replies! I spoke to a pharmacist followed her advice.
