A member asked:
How much food should be eaten with pills that need to be taken with food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medications & Food: Generally, a snack is all that is needed, unless the particular medication needs the presence of fat in the stomach to be absorbed into the bloodstream. If the medication can be ulcerogenic, the more food taken, the better. Ask your pharmacist about the specific medications you are taking and whether a light snack is sufficient.
