    It depends on the type and purpose of medication. Some medications (such as metformin) should be administered with meals to minimize issues surrounding gastrointestinal upset issues whereas others (such as levothyroxine) need to be given on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.

    To learn more about when to administer medications, become acclimated to a nurses drug guide such as the one published by Mosby or Elsevier.
