Can I stop an antibiotic when I feel better?

No. Take the course your doctor prescribed. Stopping early is one of the ways bacteria develop resistance.

Why should fluoroquinolones not be taken with antacids?

Calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc bind the antibiotic in the gut and reduce how much is absorbed. Space them by a few hours if both are prescribed.

Is a fluoroquinolone eye drop the same as the tablet?

The molecule can be the same but the product is not. Eye drops act locally and are formulated for the eye.
