VerifiedHi let me help you with your question.
Taking this medication on an empty stomach allows for better absorption into the body so that is why this is recommended.
I would advise to still take the medication however you may want to wait 2 hours after eating to ensure optimal absorption takes place.
If you have concerns please let me know.
Hope that answers your question. Many thanks.
