Patient must return the bottle(s) with any unused medication at the next visit. Arrange for the patient to return in 7 days (plus or minus 3 days) for the Week 7 clinic visit, if the Week 7 visit is required. If Week 7 is not required, please arrange for the patient to return for the Week 8 Visit in 14 days. * Where possible this visit should be performed in the evening with dosing approximately 8:00 P.M. However, for scheduling convenience, this visit (including dosing) may occur during the afternoon hours (as late in the day as possible) to accomodate the collection of orthostatic blood pressure/pulse assessments during the normal clinic hours.
