How Should So Many Medications Be Taken For Best Results

I take several medications and see to be having issues on occasion and I am wondering if I should be taking all these meds at specific times other that what the label says to get the best benefits and possibly have less yucky issues. My body isn't absorbing all my medications or all of my food. Clearly what goes in the mouth should not come out the other end in the same form as it went in.

Here's my list of all my medications:
Spiriva, Baclofen 10mg, Cymbalta 60mg, Dicyclomine 10mg, Hydrocodone/Acetamenophen 5-325, Levothyroxine 0.075mcg, Naproxen 500mg, Nexium 40mg, Pravastatin 20mg, Ventolin HFA INH, Victoza IV Pen 1.2mg, Vitamin D 5,000 ID, Prednisone 20mg

Thank you very much for your time.

Hello, Winona! How are you?

I think I could help you better if you can clarify a little more about what you mean. What are you seeing that's exiting in the same form?

This is actually completely normal for some foods, as well as some medications, especially if they are time released. The medication may be released, but the outer shell is just expelled from your body. Some foods, such as corn, work similarly, you absorb some nutrients, but the kernel itself isn't actually digested and broken up.
