There are no official guidelines to assist in answering this question. I will search for relevant research papers instead.
From the FDA Drug Label
Zolpidem tartrate tablets should not be taken with or immediately after a meal. A food-effect study in 30 healthy male subjects compared the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tartrate 10 mg when administered while fasting or 20 minutes after a meal Results demonstrated that with food, mean AUC and Cmax were decreased by 15% and 25%, respectively, while mean Tmax was prolonged by 60% (from 1.4 to 2. 2 hr). These results suggest that, for faster sleep onset, zolpidem tartrate should not be administered with or immediately after a meal.
Zolpidem should not be taken with or immediately after a meal, as this can decrease its absorption and delay its onset of action 1. There is no information about Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) in the provided drug labels.
- Key Points:
- Zolpidem should be taken on an empty stomach.
- Food can decrease the absorption of zolpidem and delay its onset of action.
- No information is available about Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) in the provided drug labels.
