Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Once the course of this antibiotic is done, the sideeffects will fade away. You can take antacids along with this , cold milk, fresh yoghurt helps a lot.
Also homeopathic remedies help with acidity, without other unwanted effects, so you can try them as well.
Takecare

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic which kills, along with pathogenic bacteria, normal intestinal commensal bacteria, causing constipation/epigastric distress/tummy heaviness.
The antibiotic should be supplemented with lactobacillus spores or other probiotic drugs. You could also consult your physician for an antibiotic change or for a combination of antibiotic and lactobacillus.
