All antibiotics come with risks; some are safer than others. Your doctor will know how to determine if a given antibiotic poses too great a risk for you. If properly prescribed and properly used, risks should be at a minimum. Your intestines are full of bacteria that you absolutely need to stay healthy, and antibiotics don't know the difference between healthy intestinal flora and illness causing bacteria. That is why your physician will choose the right antibiotic for a given need.
