You should take your medicine as per your Doctor's advice. You should change the dose of the medicines as per your Doctor's advice. There is no place for Tele-consultation for Hypertension associated with pregnancy.

Take it twice. It works only for 12 hours not more. You risk sudden rise of BP while not taking it
