Is It Safe To Take Lovastatin On Empty Stomach?

I m on lovastatin 10mg and I usually take it before going to bed with something to eat but it took it by mistake way too early. Is that okay for just this once? Will something happen to me? I was suppose to take metiformin 500mg around this time. It s 635 pm EST. Will everything be okay??
