Quinolones are effective antibacterials against gram-negative germs. In addition, they are especially useful to eliminate infections of the urine ducts and other regions, as well as to treat patients with sexually transmitted diseases. A study about the ciprofloxacin use and overuse was carried out because it is an antimicrobial which is commonly used in an inappropriately and indiscriminately way.

Keywords : ciprofloxacin; quinolones; antibiotics; antimicrobial use and overuse.
