Are Dairy Products Advisable While Taking Levaquin?

Started on Levaqin 500mg daily for prostatitis. Pharmacy warns to avoid dairy 2 hrs. before and after daily dose, but is this 1/2 lb of cheese or a glass of milk? Today I had about 1/4 oz of mozzarella on toast an hour before, and drank coffee with 15 cc half&half an hour after. Will I turn into a Leprachaun?
