SPI : Medicine Educational Handouts

I very concern about medicine since my mother admitted to hospital for her operation. But sad to say sometimes I just can't get enough info from doctor or nurse..all of them seem like very busy and no time to entertain answer my doubt..

Luckily I able to found Cipro info online and printed their friendly educational handouts which available in English. I really need to know more about the medicine given by mother's doctor..Coz I have no idea should this be taken with food? Swallowed whole? or doesn't it having any possible side effects?

My mother just starting to recovering from her operation..so I don't wan to take any risk on the mistaken medicine..
