In light of growing concerns of bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolones, the province of Ontario instituted a fluoroquinolone restriction policy in March of 2001. The objective of this study was to examine the immediate impact of this policy on the rates of antibiotic prescription use and infectious disease-related hospitalizations among elderly individuals who are dispensed antibiotics.
