薬を「飲む」はdrinkではなくtakeを使います。 食後はafter a meal (after meals)ですね。ちなみに食前はbefore a meal。 毎食後ということは1日3回なので、three time a dayを入れました。 ちなみに薬の種類もいろいろあって、私がカナダでよく目にするのは’・・・ 錠剤:tablet カプセル:capsule 痛み止め:pain killer/pain reliever 咳止めシロップ:cough syrup 抗生物質:antibiotic 軟膏:ointment 目薬:eye drop のど飴:lozenges とかがありますね。 日本にもたくさんの外国人の方がお住まいのことと思います。ご質問者様のように英語で薬の説明をしてくださる方が増えると、困っていらっしゃる方が一人でも減ると思います。ぜひ頑張ってください!

  • This medication is to be taken with food, 3 times a day.

  • This medication will irritate your stomach is you take it without food. Take it after each meal.

The first phrase directly gives the information. The second phrase gives the reason why it is to be taken with food and might motivate them to follow your instruction.
最初のフレーズは情報を直接伝えています。 2つ目のフレーズは、食事と一緒に取る理由を与えているので、あなたの指示に従おうと思うかもしれません。

Please make sure you take this medicine after each meal" and "Please ensure that you don't take this medicine on an empty stomach." are almost identical in meaning.Most people tend to forget to take their medicine after a meal and so you might also explain why the medicine has to be taken in this manner. eg .It is important to take your medicine after a meal to avoid irritating your stomach -The chemicals in this medicine are too strong to me consumed on an empty stomach

The above are instructions you may see on a pill bottle or instructions included with a prescription medication. Instructions on the bottle of the prescription medication are usually short and concise so the patient understands the instructions and will not be confused by or doubt the instructions given. When verbally speaking to the patient you could add more language, like please and thank-you, so you sound more polite. Along with the reason why the patient should not take the medication on an empty stomach. Such as; the medication may cause an upset stomach or the medicine won't be absorbed correctly without food in the stomach.
薬の瓶や処方薬の注意書きに使われる文言です。処方薬の瓶の注意書きは普通、誤解がないよう、短く簡潔に表されます。 口頭で言う場合には、より丁寧に、もっと言葉を足せます(例えば「please」「thank you」)。また、なぜ食後に飲むのか、理由を伝えてもいいです: The medication may cause an upset stomach.(薬で胃の調子が悪くなるかもしれません) The medicine won't be absorbed correctly without food in the stomach. (空腹の場合、薬がきちんと吸収されません)

"You need to eat first before you take this medicine." explains to a person when they need to take their medication, in this case, after eating food.
"You need to eat first before you take this medicine." (この薬は食後に服用下さい)は、薬を飲むことが必要な時に、この場合、食事を取った後に行うように説明しています。

おっしゃられている内容は、以下のようにも表現できると思いました(*^_^*) Take this medicine after each meal. 「毎回のご飯の後にこの薬を飲んでください」 after each mealやafter every mealで「毎食後」の意味になりますm(__)m 以上です。 少しでも参考になれば幸いです(*^_^*)
