Milk’s Effect on Absorption
While milk doesn’t chemically react with amoxicillin, some studies suggest it might slightly reduce the drug’s absorption rate. This reduction is usually minor and doesn’t significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the medication for most people. However, for optimal absorption, consider taking amoxicillin with plain water.
