Is it safe to give an 85 year old man his medications without eating anything?

I take 2 meds that are supposed to be on an empty stomach. (I take them while I'm still in bed in the morning.) I take some that are best taken with food. The rest it doesn't matter.

So SueC is right. We'd need to know what pills. But here is a very easy way for you to find out: call the druggist.

Also information about whether to take on an empty stomach or with food should be right on the label.

It depends on which meds he takes.
Can you give us the list?
