I have been taking Riluzole almost 2 weeks now. It says to take on empty stomach - 2 hours after eating, 1 hour before eating.
take 12 hours apart.
I find it hard to time taking it just right. I can take it at 7 am no problem, and then wait an hour or so to eat breakfast. But then it's at night time where it may interfere with dinner time, because 7pm would be 12 hours later and I will probably will have had dinner before that, so would have to wait longer than 7pm.
Or I have eaten breakfast and then waited 2 hours to take Riluzole, but then I'm taking the 2nd pill late at night and then wouldn't be able to have a bedtime snack or I almost went to bed forgetting to take it.
Is the exact 12 hour timing as important as the empty stomach?
