Dear Ajay, You can take any time after food. !-2 hours difference does not matter as long as you don't miss the dose.

You can take these medications 10 minutes after taking food. Try to take medication at same time but 1-2 hrs difference is ok for sometimes.

it is per day dosage, so you can take it at any time and these medications act on the neurotransmitters in the brain over a period of time and not immediately. Immediate action might be some sedation, but the benefits are seen over a period of time. So no harm taking with 1-2 hour difference. All the best.
