The warning label on every bottle of ibuprofen specifically says to not take it on an empty stomach for exactly that reason. What was she expecting?

I know; she's an idiot. I'm not sure many people know how dangerous this can be, though. I'm not sure people take warnings on medication as seriously as they should.

Looking at a generic from Wal-mart: the closest warning is "Take with food or milk if stomach upset occurs."

I'm looking at a bottle of Advil right now and nowhere does it mention not to take it on an empty stomach.
