Quick question about the pill

Does it matter whether or not one takes the pill on an empty stomach? I know with a lot of medication you're not suppossed to take it on an empty stomach because it will start digesting the medicine faster than it can go into the blood stream and thus make it less effective. Does this go for the pill as well?

I almost think it's better if you take your pill with less in your stomach as opposed to more. If you tend to worry about pill times,

Thank you both for your help! I feel that I can now take my pill without worrying about whether or not it will be effective due to how hungry I am. hehe
