Depends on the antib: Some antibiotics are best taken with food while others are best taken with the stomach empty. Specific information for the antibiotic in question is generally provided by the pharmacist dispensing the antibiotic.

Same time and OK: You can take most antibiotics with food without influencing absorption. You can also partake of hot or cold substances without having any significant influence on your treatment.
