Hello,
You should take ciprofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after dairy products or with a lot of calcium (such as calcium-fortified juices). Any other food is fine to take with ciprofloxacin.
Also, normally I would treat typhoid with 500mg every 12 hours for 7-10 days if you were not having any severe symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
