🥛 Dairy Products & Calcium-Fortified Foods⚠️ High Risk
Dairy products and calcium-fortified foods directly bind to ciprofloxacin in the intestines, reducing antibiotic absorption by 30-70%.
How it works
Calcium forms a stable chelation complex with ciprofloxacin, making it unable to be absorbed through the intestinal wall.
What to do: Do NOT take ciprofloxacin with dairy products, calcium supplements, or calcium-fortified juices. Take at least 2 hours before OR 6 hours after these products.
