Does 'Within' mean before or after?


Question:
If the medication says: " Do not consume dairy products, antacids etc within 2 hours or taking this medicine"?

Answers:
It means either...two hours before or after. Most antibiotics have that warning...something to do with the absorption of the drugs...antacids, etc. can make them much less effective.
