Why tetracycline should not be taken with antacids, milk and iron?
Milk and other dairy products, antacids containing polyvalent cations, and various iron salts form complexes with tetracycline derivatives, making them insoluble and poorly absorbable. This interaction can reduce the absorption of tetracyclines by 50 to 90%, or even more.
