Timing separation is the standard mitigation where absorption rate is the concern, and the interval that matters depends on the other drug rather than on this one.

Post #25 describes the usual case. This is about the unusual one.
Practical note on Delayed gastric emptying and oral: write down what you expect before you look. The number of times I have found what I went looking for is higher than chance would allow.
Post #30 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.
A methods point on Delayed gastric emptying and oral rather than a substantive one: if the comparison is not like for like, the difference you are measuring is the difference in method.

Delayed gastric emptying and oral is a question about a distribution, not about a value, and treating it as a value is what produces the confident wrong answers.

k.agyeman, post #4: The practical advice most consistently given by pharmacists here is to keep the timing of other oral medication consistent rather than to change it, because consistency is what makes a problem visible. Go to post
I read post #47 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
The honest answer on Delayed gastric emptying and oral is that it depends, and the useful part is the list of what it depends on. Four items, in rough order of how much they matter.
Most people get the first two right and then argue about the fourth.
On Delayed gastric emptying and oral, I would rather understate and be corrected upward than overstate and be quoted. That is a house style here and it is a good one.

Adding the measurement that post #61 says would settle it.
Oral contraceptive absorption has been studied specifically for some compounds in this class and the findings are compound-specific. Generalising from one to another is not supported.
Anyone who has looked at this more carefully, please correct the record.
The arithmetic in post #72 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.
For anyone finding this later: the short answer on Delayed gastric emptying and oral is that it depends on one thing, and the rest of the thread is people identifying which thing.
