Is it okay to take pills without food if the bottle says it should be taken with food? i forgot to take it when i was eating.

Medications: What is done is done. Don't know which medication you took. Some may be taken with food to improve absorption. Other medications may be taken with food to reduce side effects. Without knowing the medication - can't provide a specific response. Try to take with food in the future. Take care.
