Swedish term or phrase: tabletterna bör sväljas [...] till natten
Hi,

Should "till natten" be translated as "at night" here, or in some other way?

"Tabletterna bör sväljas hela och tas strax efter måltid, gärna på kvällen eller till natten."

Thanks

Explanation:
So the whole would be "... in the evening or at bedtime". "Till natten" is when you go to bed, "på natten" is at night (when, hopefully, you are sound asleep.
