Best Answer

You are not allowed to take dairy products with tetracycline group of antibiotics. Tetracycline group of antibiotics are precipitated in the stomach and are not absorbed. You may take them about one hour before taking dairy products. All the other antibiotics can probably be taken with dairy products. Some antibiotics, like macrolide group of antibiotics and oral penicillin tablets are to be taken on empty stomach. Macrolide group of antibiotics include erythromycin, roxithromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin. Empty stomach means no dairy products also.

Some of them - read your directions on the prescription bottle to see if the one you're taking has that limitation. In fact, you should always read the directions before taking any medication!

Can you take antibiotics with soy milk?

No, you cannot take any antibiotics with soy milk. Calcium has been shown to block/interfere with the absorption of antibiotics. Do not ingest any food products containing calcium unless it is 4-6 hours before taking your antibiotic. But, if you can take your antibiotics with milk (e.g. penicillin, bactrim, etc..) you can take it with soy milk. Some antibiotics couldn't be taken with calcium, like quinolones (cipro, levaquin, avelox, ..) and you should avoid soy milk 2-3 hours apart in this situation.
