Drug-Food Interactions
Drug-food interactions are changes in a drug's effects caused by food (including beverages) consumed during the same time period.
Like food, drugs taken by mouth must be absorbed through the lining of the stomach or the small intestine. Consequently, the presence of food in the digestive tract may reduce absorption of a drug. Often, such interactions can be avoided by taking the drug 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating.
 See the table Some Drug-Food Interactions.
