Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

Yes,you can take cipro,but I dont think this is related to propranolol which should not affect bowel on this way. So cause of it may be hemorrhoid,fissures or polyps and you should do colonoscopy for further evaluation.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
