Can Magnesium Be Taken Along With Ciprofloxacin?
Question: is Mg ok to take with cipro ? or any other products to avoid while taking cipro
Brief Answer:
Should not be taken together
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Ciprofloxacin and magnesium should not be taken orally at the same time.
Products that contain magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of ciprofloxacin and reduce its effectiveness.
If possible, it may be best to avoid taking magnesium while your are being treated with ciprofloxacin. Otherwise, you should take ciprofloxacin either 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after the magnesium dose.
Hope this helps
Take care
