I was sad when I learned I could not take my usual mulitvitamins while taking cipro for a kidney infection because it has magnesium and a few other things in it… however I continued to take some cranberry supplements… still, I miss taking my B vitamin complex for stress and energy management, it doesnt seem to have anything that has been listed as counterproductive to cipro but I just want to be sure… any help would be appreciated! 
B complex: thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, biotin, calcium d-pantothenate, choline biartrate, inositol, para-aminobenzoic acid, cellulose

Don’t worry about skipping your vitamins. You’ll do more harm by blocking the effect of the Cipro than by missing your vits for a few days or so. You should avoid iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc. It’s recommended to separate by 2-4 hours but that can be difficult so it’s easier just to skip them. The B-complex is fine. Folic acid is not iron (maybe Adam is confusing it with ferrous sulfate?) and the calcium d-pantothenate is not the type or quantity of calcium that will bind to the Cipro.
So skip the vitamins with minerals but take the B-complex. And the cranberry pills should be OK too as long as they don’t have any other strange additives in them.
You can take “iron chelaters,” which is your magnesum, as long as you seperate it by at least 2 hours from taking your cipro. The Magnesium would bind to the Cipro making it useless otherwise. The B-Supplement has folic acid, which is Iron, so I would seperate it by 2 hours.
