Milk and other dairy products, antacids containing polyvalent cations, as well as various iron salts ingested simultaneously with tetracycline derivatives, might interfere with their absorption by 50 to 90% or even more
Tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, tigecycline) are a class of medication used to manage and treat various

Milk and dairy products have been shown to inhibit the absorption of tetracycline
Milk levels ranged from 0
Therefore only a brief summary is provided here
Absorption of both antibiotics was significantly decreased by administration with iron (77% inhibition with minocycline and 81% with tetracycline), milk (27%
4% with a mean residues value of 1
As a result of the insufficient absorption of visible light, the application of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 in the field of photocatalysis is limited

Theoretically, if a baby is exposed to tetracycline in breast milk, it could cause tooth discoloration and delayed bone growth
Data indicate that oral absorption of tetracycline in infants is low due to the calcium binding in human milk
Give with a full glass of water on an empty stomach at least 1 h before or 2 h after meals (food, milk, and milk products can The milk interferes with the absorption of various antibiotics such as tetracycline’s (decreasing absorption) and few quinolones, propranolol, mercaptopurine (reduce bioavailability), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, digitalis, amiloride, omeprazole, spironolactone and ranitidine

About 60 to 80% of tetracycline and ≥ 90% of doxycycline and minocycline are absorbed after oral use

There is a theoretical risk of dental staining and inhibition of bone tetracycline calcium chloride
Divalent cations like calcium and iron bind directly to tetracyclines and prevent their absorption in the small intestine, thereby decreasing effectiveness
Previously, it was suggested that the effective intestinal permeation of tetracycline (TC) was decreased due to Ca 2+ linked mucin binding in the mucosal side
The results illustrated that tetracycline successfully
Results showed that even a little quantity of milk containing extremely small amounts of calcium severely impair the absorption of the drug, so that the presence of this metal ion should be carefully controlled in order to avoid decreasing the available tetracycline

I didn't think it implied to completey stay away from milk/dairy, but rather to warn you that it reduces the absorption of the drug if you consume many dairy products on a daily basis
