Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used in treatment of traveller's diahorrea amongst other things. It's normally used in a course of 500mg twice daily for up to three days, however it's generally best to let nature take its course and only resort to antibiotics if it doesn't clear of its own accord.
It's worth noting that many instances of upset stomaches are down to lack of basic hygiene (such as washing hands before eating) on the part of the traveller.
