Is Ciprofloxacin The Right Medication For Persistent Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Yes, I have had very bad case of vomiting and constant diahhera since last Thursday night and it doesn t seem to be getting any better. My doctor of many years called in a prescription for ciprofloxacin which I have taken one dose. In reading the enclosed literature with it, it seems there are many bad side effects. Do you recommend taki ng it or not? Am not allergic to anything.
