Can i use a sleep aid patch that has magnesium while taking ciprofloxacin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of ciprofloxacin and reduce its effectiveness. Try taking benadryl or a different kind of sleep aid until you have finished the course of Cipro. Avoid taking dairy products, multivitamins and other supplements within 2 hours of your Cipro doses.
