How long does it take for a meal to empty from the stomach?

How long does it take for a meal to empty from the stomach?

It generally takes 4 to 5 hours for the stomach to empty after a full meal and a bit less after a snack or liquid, though it varies depending on how much and what kind of food you ate. If you can, it's easiest to take "empty stomach" medications in the morning, after you've fasted overnight.
