A sensitive stomach will hurt if you take pills with nothing in there, and over time taking meds on an empty stomach can eat away at the lining of your stomach. Once in a while when necessary is probably ok, if you don't have an incredibley sensitive stomach, and generally Tylenol is considered safe without food.

The acid in the pill eats at the lining of the stomach. Also the pill will not digest correctly and go into the system properly.

Nothing youll be fine. If you take aspirin or ibuprofen all the time on an empty stomach then eventually you could end up with stomach problems. But once in a while its fine.

It is a good idea to have something in your stomach when taking Advil or any ibuprofen product. They can be hard on the stomach lining otherwise.

It'll Make You Feel Sick To Your Stomach

It wouldn't hurt you or anything. It would be harsh on your stomach, though. So it is a good idea to take either a glass of milk to coat your stomach, or even eat a cracker beforehand.

Sometimes it's just easier on you to have food in your stomach because it has the side effect of making you feel sick.
So having food helps absorb it faster and get it working too.
Drink it with plenty of water as well.
