Ever wondered which is more effective between taking medicine on a fast and eating before taking medicine?
The reason is simple: certain medications, in order to be effective, need to be absorbed into your body from your bowels. If there is food in your bowels, it can prevent proper absorption of medication (they will not work). Also certain foods may interact with some medications. There are also many medications that actually need to be taken during meals (because they will only absorbed with foods or to avoid irritation/damage to mucosa of digestive tract). The timing might also be different for various medications. It's important to ALWAYS stick to your doctors recommendations. In some cases presence or absence of foods on your stomach can actually be a difference between life and death.. Oh, and as a rule - never drink grapefruit juice when you are taking medications.

NB;Google is always a friend
