Yes, you are not supposed to take it with calcium supplements or dairy (same as tetracycline). It interferes with absorption. So best on an empty stomach. But, if the calcium or dairy is combined with a varied meal, it is not so much of an issue (good to know if you get nauseated with it).

Probiotics don't interfere, but the antibiotic will kill them, so you should space them out from the antibiotics.
