I dont know the specifics, but some medicines can damage your stomach. I took Ibuprofen on an empty stomach once and MAN I am never doing that again.

Usually it’s recommended to eat food with medicine, but milk has some stuff in it that other drinks don’t – fat, nutrients, whatever. As a result, it can sometimes protect your stomach from harsh medicines the same way food does.
