Sometimes whenever one is trying to take medicine people usually do say that its not good to take it with empty stomach.
I do remember that whenever I want to take drug my grandma usually tell me that; if it is just little food that is should try and take.
But I want to say that ; Some medicines work best when you take them on an empty stomach - that is, one hour before meals.
Other medicines are less likely to cause upset stomach or heartburn ( chest pain ) when taken along with a meal or right afterwards.
TAKE THESE MEDICINES 1 HOUR BEFORE MEALS:
- You can use penicillin before meal
It is better not to drink milk an hour before or after taking tetracycline.
TAKE THESE MEDICINES GOGETHER WITH OR SOON AFTRT MEALS( OR WITH A LOT OF WATER):
- It is very good to take aspirin and medicine that contains aspirin after meal or together with meal.
- Take Iron ( ferrous sulfate) with meal.
- vitamins
- Erythromycin
Antacids do the most good if you take them when the stomach is empty, 1 or 2 hours after meals and at bedtime.
Note: It is best yo take medicines while you are standing or sitting up. Also , try to drink a glass of water each time you take a medicine. If you are taking a sulfa medicine, it is important to drink lots of water, at least 8 glasses a day, to prevent damage to the kidneys.
