Abstract

One hundred and fifty million outpatient prescriptions for antibiotics are dispensed each year in the United States (1). In institutional settings, 25–35% of hospitalized patients receive antibiotic treatment for active infections or to prevent infections (2). Given that antibiotics represent global sales of approximately $20 billion of a $370 billion pharmaceutical market, one can assume that many patients who are prescribed antibiotics are also receiving other agents (3). Therefore, the potential for drug interactions is significant.
