“💊 Can I Take Hydroxychloroquine on an Empty Stomach?
Short answer: Not recommended! ❌
🍽️ ✔️ Best Practice:
Take hydroxychloroquine with food or a full glass of milk.
This helps cushion your stomach and reduces the chance of: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach cramps
💥 Avoid taking it on an empty stomach — It’s a known stomach irritant and can lead to unpleasant side effects.
🕒 Timing Tips:
If mornings make you queasy, try taking it after dinner or with a hearty meal.
⚠️ Bonus Tip for Antacids:
Taking antacids like Tums or Rolaids? ⏳ Wait at least 4 hours before or after your hydroxychloroquine to avoid absorption issues.
💡 Pro tip:
Always follow your doctor’s instructions “

I’m not medically trained and neither is the AI, so the above comes with the usual caveats. Anyone who can actually offer a qualified opinion, please do.
I’ve always taking it on a full stomach but the other day I saw an article saying it should be taken on an empty stomach.
Thanks.
