Can Claritin and tums be taken together?

Most antibiotics can be taken concurrently with antacids, with the exception of two classes of drugs. Fluoroquinolones (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox) and tetracyclines (Sumycin, Doxycycline, Vibramycin, Minocin) can bind with antacids and be less well absorbed , up to 50% in some cases. The best advice when taking these antibiotics is to avoid calcium or iron containing meds OR FOOD (milk, cheese, yogurt, vitamins with iron) and take the antibiotic at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after the food/antacid to allow adequate absorption.
