How Should Cipro Be Taken?
I would like to know while taking the medication Cipro, if there is a specific time range that i should not drink milk? or is it just taking the medication with milk. For example, am i able to take the pill with water, and then with the meal i am eating drink milk? so a 10 minute difference.

Hi,
In fact absorption of Cipro is reduced by milk and yogurt so we advise you should avoid taking Ccipro with milk or yogurt. The dose is taking the drug 2 times a day 12 hour apart whatever times you like. You take at least 1 hour gap between the drug and the milk for better absorption.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
