Should I still take the pill at 10am or wait until tomorrow when I have not eaten anything after 12am? Sorry for the silly question but I hope someone understands and help me THANKS

It should be taken at least 2 hours after you last ate something then once you take it wait about 30-60 minutes before eating so that the med absorbs. So if you eat at 1am you will be fine taking it at 10am. You stomach will be plenty empty.

heavens, no one expects you to fast for a day to take it. It just means take it before you eat breakfast and then don't eat breakfast for 1-2 hours.
