Levaquin and dairy

Levaquin (levofloxacin) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that can have reduced absorption when taken with dairy products or calcium-fortified foods, as calcium can bind to the medication and decrease its effectiveness. To ensure optimal absorption, it is recommended to take Levaquin at least two hours before or six hours after consuming dairy products. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific recommendations regarding medication and dietary interactions.
