Well-established interactions for this medicine’s drug class, summarized from public health authorities. General information, not medical advice — always confirm with your pharmacist or the label.

• Dairy, calcium, iron & antacids

  Watch out for: milk and other dairy, calcium- or iron-fortified foods and supplements, and antacids.

  Calcium, magnesium, and iron bind to these antibiotics in the gut and can stop them from being absorbed, making the medicine work less well.

  What to do: Separate the antibiotic from dairy, supplements, and antacids by a couple of hours — take it at the interval the label or your pharmacist specifies.
