This really....how many minutes after you eat something you got again an empty tummy?

2 hours after eating, and one hour before eating again!

It typically means taking the medication when you wake up, before eating or drinking anything. Not sure how long it takes for your stomach to completely empty, but I would guess about 6 to 8 hours.

That little time, eh? That is shorter than I thought.
