| Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to this question - it depends entirely on your own digestion and how much you ate. The medication you're taking also makes a difference, since there are different reasons why a medication should be taken on an empty stomach.
I would suggest calling your pharmacy and asking them. Pharmacists are experts and can give you good advice since they know what you're taking and why, and they'd be able to tailor your advice to your situation since they'll also know the reason why this particular medication should be taken apart from food.
If it were me taking a pill on an "empty stomach" and I couldn't ask a pharmacist, I'd probably use the guideline of at least two hours after eating or one hour before.
Hope this helps, and please do call a pharmacist in the morning. |
