http://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/584529 I suppose you can freely access MedScape, you just need to create an account first. There is info about:

  • Antigastric-secretion Drugs
  • Drugs Acting on Cardiovascular System
  • Calcium Channel Blockers
  • Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
  • Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors
  • Beta-blockers
  • Antihyperlipidaemic Drugs
  • Doxazosin GITS
  • Aspirin
  • Isosorbide Mononitrate Sustained-release Formulation
  • Diuretics
  • Antidepressants
  • Drugs Acting on Metabolism and Endocrine System

What is the optimal time for the patients to take these drugs. Is it in the morning, in the early evening, at bedtime or at any time? Currently only a few package inserts of once-daily medications specially define the dosing time, although sporadic studies have demonstrated huge administration time-dependent effects on the therapeutic outcome.

Some chronotherapeutic approaches aim to diminish the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and hence better tolerance and medication compliance whereas most of the chronotherapies are recommended to improve therapeutic efficacy.
