A member asked:

Do you have to eat when taking geodon (ziprasidone)? i was prescribed it at night at bedtime i can't eat that late?!?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Medications works best when taken with food otherwise bio availability is lower in your blood will be difficult to find right dose . This medication has to be taken with food and right way is twice a day with food.
