Abstract

We show that respiratory fluoroquinolone use is extremely seasonal and that fluoroquinolone use is strongly associated with influenza. In our time series model, instantaneous influenza activity was a significant predictor of use (P<.0001). Also, we estimated that reducing influenza activity by 20% would reduce prescriptions by 8%.
