Does alcohol ruin effectiveness of Cipro?
If I had to guess, I would say “yes”. It’s never a good idea to drink alcohol when on any medication as it can enhance the side effects. Read on for further info. Do not take ciprofloxacin with dairy products such as milk or yogurt, or with calcium-fortified juice. You may eat or drink dairy products or calcium-fortified juice with a regular meal, but do not use them alone when taking ciprofloxacin. They could make the medication less effective. Ciprofloxacin can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
