    It is best not to take medicine with milk. Milk can significantly affect the rate of absorption of medicines by the human body, so that the concentration of medicines in the blood is significantly lower than that of non-milk medicines in the same time. Taking medicine with milk also makes it easy for the drug to form a covering film, so that the mineral ions such as calcium and magnesium in the milk react chemically with the drug to form a water-insoluble substance, which not only reduces the efficacy of the drug, but may also cause harm to the body. Therefore, it is best not to drink milk for 1 to 2 hours before and after taking the medicine.
