It is widely recognized that food can affect the absorption of orally administered drugs. In the course of pharmaceutical development, food is evaluated clinically as part of the early single or multiple ascending dose studies; additional evaluations often take place when there are formulation changes. The outcome of these studies informs dosing instructions both during the conduct of clinical trials as well as on the product label.
