how long does the stomach take to empty
For some medicines, having food or liquids in your stomach can result in poorer absorption of the drug or an upset stomach. It generally takes 4 to 5 hours for the stomach to empty after a full meal and a bit less after a snack or liquid, though it varies depending on how much and what kind of food you ate.hen the instructions say to take medicine on an empty stomach, how long do I have to wait after eating for my stomach to empty? Can I still drink while waiting?
