Good morning, ma'am,
No, it is not required. However, some people may experience diarrhea or looser stools with this medication, and the magnitude of this side effect may be lessened with taking it with food. However, it is not mandatory, especially if it fits less well with your (and his) schedule.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
