When a medication should be taken "with food" because food increases it's absorbtion, how long do you have after eating to reap this benefit?
Would a drink with absorbable nutrients work the same in lieu of food?
Drug in question specifically is Spironolactone.

there's lots of reasons.
One is first pass metabolism, that can decrease drug absorption by increasing drug metabolism.
Another would be the opposite, the drug could be more potent because there is nothing to dilute it, and depending on the drug this can mean the drug doesn't last as long, or is much more potent
But mostly i think you are supposed to drink water and have eaten when you take meds because this is how the drugs are made to be taken.
just ask your doctor.
