Why shouldn't you take aspirin with an empty stomach?

Answer 1

Aspirin, like any other pill, will irritate your stomach.

When you eat foods, they churn in your stomach and turn into harmless acids that dissolve more foods and digested things, until excreted. So, when you eat something before taking an Aspirin, there are more acids inside your stomach to help dissolve the Aspirin, reducing the irritation that it can have on your stomach and stomach lining.

If you don't eat before taking an Aspirin, you may get some stomach irritation, followed by a stomach ache, but it shouldn't be too severe. But, I would recommend having at least a small snack before taking one, or any other pill, for that matter

Answer 2

Aspirin is an acidic substance and it does not dissolve very well. If you take it on an empty stomach,it is possible for bits of undissolved medicine to stick to the stomach wall and irritate it (it can cause an ulcer). The presence of food tends to help prevent this happening.

Answer 3

Taking aspirin on an empty stomach can cause the stomach to become irritated or upset. Medical professionals recommend that it be taken with water and a meal, or after a meal.
