A member asked:
Is it okay to take antibiotics (cloxacillin) on an empty stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes.: Most meds work best on an empty stomach. Several don't though. Always double check with the pharmacist or the doc that prescribes it about whether or not it should be taken with food. Fortunately, dicloxacillin can be taken on an empty stomach without problems usually. Take it with 8 oz of water, though.
