Hi,

Cifran contains ciprofloxacin antibiotic and can cause nausea, diarrhea, allergy and fatigue as side effect. The side effects you have mentioned is caused due to Cifran. I would suggest you to continue the drug for 2 more days. Proton pump inhibitors like Rabeprazole can be taken half an hour before food in order to reduce indigestion due to the antibiotic.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
