Ever wondered why you should take your meds with food or on an empty stomach? It's all about how your body absorbs them! Some meds need a full stomach to prevent irritation or to be absorbed properly, while others work best when your stomach’s empty. Always check the label or ask your pharmacist if you're unsure. And remember, no grapefruit for certain meds—it can mess with how they're broken down. Crazy, right? Keep these tips in mind to get the most out of your medications. Stay informed and stay healthy!
