Taking medicine (antibiotics) on an empty stomach.

The label says one hour before eating. Clear enough. But how long after a meal is ok?
I'm trying to get 4x doses into dc per day but can't figure out snack times or how little food would be an 'empty stomach'
Any help gratefully appreciated :)

Not a medic, but think it is supposed to be two hours after eating. Check leaflet you got with medicine carefully, it should say there.

I eat only 2 large meals a day, so when taking ABs 4 x a day, I have to take half on an empty stomach. I have never been told to take with with food, before or after. But have been told to take with lots of water.
