| Abstract: | In pharmacists’ daily practice, particularly when advising patients regarding their dosage regimen, they are often faced with the recurring question “do I need to take this after a meal?” Sometimes it makes one wonder whether this is a true concern or whether it is just an excuse to eat! The truth, however, is that interactions between food and medicines can have a significant influence on the adverse effect profiles of many drugs and on the therapeutic success of the drug being administered. |
