A member asked:
For "take with or after food" medication, what is the minimum amount of food to be taken? are 2 crackers, or 2 crackers + a hot drink enough? thks.

Correct: That would be ok. So long as there is some food present to help with absorption of the medication or to help protect the lining of the stomach. Food helps to stimulate the digestive fluids to help absorption of some medications.
