Can i drink milk or have ice cream several hours after taking azithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally you should..: wait 2 hrs before ingesting food. This is because food may reduce the bioavailability (availability of the antibiotic in the body) and therefore make it less effective. If around 2 hrs have passed it's okay to have food. If you ate a little sooner than 2 hrs, don't worry - it probably won't make a HUGE difference (so don't take an extra pill!). Hope you get well soon!
