What exactly does "after meal" mean? How long after? Since it is not "with food", I presume there should be some interval?

Hello, Suzy! How are you?

That just means directly after you've eaten a full meal, to prevent it being taken on an empty or partially empty stomach.

Which medication are you asking about?
