No, you cannot take any antibiotics with soy milk. Calcium has been shown to block/interfere with the absorption of antibiotics. Do not ingest any food products containing calcium unless it is 4-6 hours before taking your antibiotic. But, if you can take your antibiotics with milk (e.g. penicillin, bactrim, etc..) you can take it with soy milk. Some antibiotics couldn't be taken with calcium, like quinolones (cipro, levaquin, avelox, ..) and you should avoid soy milk 2-3 hours apart in this situation.

Some antibiotics can be taken with food, while others can't. For specific details, you should speak to your doctor. Any antibiotic that can be taken with food can be taken with milk, EXCEPT tetracyclines, which become bound to the calcium in milk and can't be absorbed, so they become useless.

The calcium content in milk and other dairy products (cheese, yogurt) may bind together with some medications (tetracyclines ) and prevent their ability to be absorbed by the body.

You are on antibiotics will one or two beers harm you?

"Harm" no, but alcohol completely makes taking the antibiotic moot. You actually just might as well not take the antibiotic, which of course, you CANNOT, if you are on an antibiotic for any reason. If you do NOT taking it would be absolutly wrong, always remember to take the entire perscription, as directed, as you know, your body could grow immune to the antibiotic if it is not taken correctly, then, the next time you are required to take an antibiotic, your body may not take and use the antibiotic properly.
