Does milk affect in any of my medication? someone told me i shouldn't drink milk with any pills

Can: The calcium in milk and other dairy products can interfere with the absorption of some medications, but not all. The bottle your medicine comes in should say on it whether to avoid milk and other dairy products. Speak to you pharmacist if you would like to know more.
