E-DRUG: Before or after food ?
------------------------------

Dear E-Druggers,

I would like to know if one could find collectively listed all the
drugs, in a precise place/source/booklet,etc. whether a particular drug is
to be taken on an empty stomach, or with food, etc., and the reason for
doing so ?

Thank you in advance,

Dear Raj,

There are many publications that give that information however you may wish to look at the British National Formulary as a possible source of conscise information on whether drugs should be taken before, after or with food
