Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It's true, indeed most have side effects, some of which are causing discomfort in the stomach, such as stomach disorders, bloating, or diarrhea. It depends on the content of the drug consumed.
If you mean Cipro is Cyproheptadine (Periactin) then it could cause a reaction. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction like hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of her face, lips, tongue, or throat.
If abdominal pain has not improved, it is recommended that you check with your doctor so that can be done physical examination and supporting tests such as ultrasound, and evaluation of drugs that have been consumed. Proper handling will be given in accordance with the results of the examination obtained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nurul Falah
