No: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic that will have no effect on gallstones. It can be used to treat infection in the gallbladder. Zofran is used for symptomatic treatment of nausea and vomiting. Percocet is used to treat pain.

Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
