When have to take certain meds with food, can you take with a protein shake instead?

[Jake LaMotta]

If I have to take certain medications with food, is it OK if I take them with a protein shake mixed with water? Or should I just take those medications with whole food? Basically, why I'm asking this is because I have to take some morning medication with food and I have decided to start drinking ON's Oats and Whey shake mixed with water for breakfast (as seen here: Bodybuilding.com - Optimum 100% Natural Oats & Whey - 24 Grams Of Protein! On sale now! ).

So will this be OK or do I have to take the meds with whole food?

In case you're wondering the meds are: DHEA, Indole Forte, Calcium D-Glucorate, Ubiquinol, occasionally motrin, etc.

Why do you say that?

I imagine the issue is to do with nausea, usually a little food in your stomach helps nausea with meds. No food is quite harsh sometimes depending on what meds we are talking about. I would just take it with food. Its not like you're not eating meals every day anyways
