It is not necessary to take Motrin IB on a full stomach; however, it is recommended that you take it with some food and milk, as some people experience occasional mild heartburn, stomach pain and upset stomach after taking Motrin on an empty stomach.

You need to eat before you take Motrin IB, as taking the medicine on an empty stomach can cause bleeding ulcers, stomach pain and other side effects. The extent to which how full your stomach is I do not know, but I believe you should eat a full meal, not a small snack.

Motrin can be hard on the stomach and cause some irritation. If taken without food and stomach become upset then take with food the next time. Motrin can be taken with or without food.
