A.C within medical language is beforehand suppertime, so it is it a must to enjoy a buffet after that?

So it is a must to have a meal after consuming medication?
If so, why?
Answers:
Some medications must be given on an desolate stomach, which is why the term "ac" (before meal) would be used when writing the prescription for a medication. Other medications cause stomach upset, and requirement to be given with food, so would be given after a meal, and the term "pc" (after meal) would be used.

Hope this help. Source(s): RN, BSN, MS
