After taking Asenapine, how long should one wait before consuming food or drink?

  1. 5 minutes

  2. 10 minutes

  3. 15 minutes

  4. 20 minutes

The correct answer is: 10 minutes

After taking Asenapine, it is recommended to wait at least 10 minutes before consuming any food or drink. This is because Asenapine is a sublingual medication, which means it is meant to be placed under the tongue where it dissolves and gets absorbed into the bloodstream. Waiting for 10 minutes allows the medication to be absorbed properly without being affected by food or drink. Waiting for less than 10 minutes may reduce the effectiveness of the medication as it may get washed away by food or drink before being fully absorbed.
