Changing time I take Tenofovir?

I currently started my clinical trial of Tenofovir last week. Before I started this, I was having some inner ear issues which seems to continue to happen today and I think the meds are making it worse. I've been taking these meds at 1pm every day, with food, etc. As per instructions. I've been thinking about changing the time I am taking these meds to right before I go to bed (with food of course!) to avoid these issues of the inner ear. Is there anything I should be worried about in doing this after 7 days? Plus, the body is known to heal itself better at night during rest :)

He tolerates it relatively well and the blood test  results which he does every 3 months also show good results (thanks God). Some times he complains of dizziness but not sure whether this is due to the drug or to something else as he also has gastritis problem.......there is nothing special he does, he takes no additional supplement, just TDF.

Thanks... I asked my doctor and they said changing the time is fine but important that I have food in me. How is your son tolerating these meds, by the way? Anything to look out for? So far, things seem ok for me after a week.

Due to fasting month, after two weeks taking TDF my son should change the time of taking it from morning to the evening. His doctor suggested to change it slowly by hour. So for example one day he took it  at 6 am, the next day he would take it at 7 am and the next day at 8 am until he reached the intended time to take the drugs so that he could fast during the day ...... my son is now on his 12th month of taking TDF.....
