This depends on the medication in question. With some medications it is inconsequential or even encouraged to take them with milk - especially for those that are rough on the stomach like naproxen or ibuprofen. However, for many antibiotics you should avoid taking them with milk. Antibiotics like fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and some macrolides are deactivated by calcium, iron and magnesium. Products to avoid while on these medication include: dairy prodcuts or calcium supplements, iron supplements, antacids and some laxatives. If you have questions about a specific product feel free to email me.

I doublt it, milk is pretty neutral. However, I'm not a doctor oe a chemist so wouldn't it make much more sense to ask them before trying it?

There are medications that do not get absorbed with food some specifically with milk. Not all medicines are like that. Look at Product information. Most medicines have downloadadle PIs on net.

It depends on the medication. Anytime it says to take with food, milk would do as a substitute, because of the protein in it.

You can take most medications with milk but for some it is not advisable so you should ask your doctor.

I don't think so, you can call your doctor or pharmacist to be sure. there are meds that I know that should be taken with food or milk it says right on the bottle.

Water is always the best as there isn't any chemical changes to the medicines that you ingest.
