The Department of Veterans' Affairs has recently developed improved computer software that enables more thorough analysis of the prescription data in the pharmaceutical database. The department is now in a position to follow prescribing trends in detail for all drugs prescribed for the veteran population. Several drug groups are of interest and on this occasion we have elected to examine the commonly prescribed antibiotics.
