Paracetamol
Paracetamol
can be taken on an empty stomach (take with a good amount of water or milk), but this is
not
the case with Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories, which must be taken with food, or they can damage the stomach lining.

Pills can be broken in two, to make them easier to swallow, or to reduce the dosage, so long as they are scored (see image). If the pill is not scored then it is not meant to be broken, and breaking such pills can damage their surface coating, which can in turn do harm to your throat or stomach, and interfere with the controlled release of the drug.

Only to be taken with or after food
, as this anti-inflammatory can damage the lining of the stomach.
