Ciprofloxacin may bind with antacids, reducing its absorption, so it should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacid administration. It is not recommended to take ciprofloxacin with oral contraceptive pills as it can reduce their effectiveness. There is no specific requirement to take ciprofloxacin with a multivitamin tablet or with milk.
