Hello,
Ciplox in an antibiotic and will thus kill bacteria. These include both harmful bacteria and good bacteria that live in your intestinal tract. The loss of these good bacteria makes you have loose stools. Once the antibiotics stops the loose stools should subside. Make sure your mother drinks plenty of fluids. If it persists after stopping and/or your mum gets more sick see your doctor
Kind Regards
