Does mycophenolate need to be taken on an empty stomach? Does being on an empty stomach just refer to food? Does alcohol count as well?

When a medication needs to be taken on an empty stomach, it typically means avoiding food for a certain period of time before and after taking the medication. It is best to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist to ensure the medication is absorbed properly. While the effects of taking the medication with alcohol may vary depending on the specific medication, it is generally recommended to avoid consuming alcohol when taking medications to prevent potential interactions.
