I have been recommended Ciplox Tz for a stomach infection twice a day for 5 days. Milk I understand is discouraged during treatment. What about Dahi or yoghurt, buttermilk. How long after dinner should the medicine be taken.

The purpose of taking medication on a full stomach is to prevent acidity or nausea. As long as you take a good meal you can take the medication immediately after the meal preferably while the food is still in your stomach so within two hrs is okay. If you wish to add dairy to your meals yogurt is good. As antibiotics kill the organisms in your gut, yogurt helps to maintain the good organisms helpful for digestion. I would recommend yogurt with your meals and antibiotic after meals as early as possible. Hope that helps.
