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?

Re: Empty Stomach
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

Re: Empty Stomach
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.
