Patient Information
Ciprofloxacin may or may not be taken with meals. However, if taken on an empty stomach, the drug is absorbed more rapidly. Do not take Ciprofloxacin with dairy products (like milk or yogurt) or calcium-fortified juices alone since absorption of ciprofloxacin may be significantly reduced; however, ciprofloxacin may be taken with a meal that contains these products. Drink fluids liberally. Administer Ciprofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium/aluminum antacids or sucralfate, didanosine chewable/buffered tablets or pediatric powder for oral solution or other products containing calcium, iron or zinc.
