Dear Kafuta,
DIFFERENT drugs have different instructions that should be followed when swallowing them.These instructions allow for the best circumstances for the absorption of drugs.
Milk is a chemical which can react with the drugs that are being swallowed.

For that reason, there cannot be a blanket instruction to either take or not take all drugs with milk. It is best to follow the instructions that the doctor or pharmacist gives with the particular medicine.
