When a medication needs to be taken on an empty stomach, it is recommended to take it at least one hour before eating or two hours after eating. Option B states 1 hour before eating, which is the correct answer. Option D is incorrect because taking the medication 30 minutes after eating would not be considered an empty stomach. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest taking the medication after eating which is contradictory with the "empty stomach" instruction.
