Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this stomach upset that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and antibiotic eyedrops cannot cause stomach upset. This does not get into the whole body and would be unlikely to be responsible for this. Your IBS is more likely to be the reason why and not the drug. If I may ask, what is the exact nature of your stomach upset? I may be able to provide helpful information to address this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Can you tolerate it or do you need something for this?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

If you can tolerate, then I will say continue and observe. However, if you think you need help then let me know. For now, watch your diet. If you aye something that you are not familiar with, then I will recommend that you suspend that for now. As for the frequent loose stools, drink as much water as possible to replace any losses. loose stools don't kill except you fail to replenish the lost fluids by drinking much water.

I hope this helps. I wish you and available to respond to any further concerns you may have.
