Products containing calcium should be avoided with fluoroquinolones because calcium can decrease their absorption and result in treatment failure. Gluten has no effect on fluoroquinolone absorption. Foods high in sodium do not affect absorption. Citrus juice alone has been linked with poor absorption of certain medications, but sodas containing citrus juice have not been shown to have the same effect.
