Empty Stomach

I have to take a pill, but it is supposed to be on an empty stomach. However, half-way through my bagel I realized that I forgot to take it. How long until my stomach is considered empty?

Not sure. You could always call the pharmacist and ask if its ok.

I'd usually ask my mom (retired RN), but she's on vacation.

2-3 hrs after whatever you eat

I go thru this w/ my prenatals so I know my dr. said take it ONE hr before a meal OR 2-3 hrs after a meal

Juat call the pharmacy and tell them what you are taking. Ask them if its ok to eat it with a little something. They will be able to tell you.
