Abstract
Ciprofloxacin is a 6-fluoroquinolone possessing a broad spectrum of activity and high potency (1, 2). Its pharmacokinetic behaviour suggests it should prove suitable for treatment of systemic and urinary tract infections (3, 4). We evaluated this agent in the treatment of adults with a variety of common clinical infections in an attempt to define its efficacy and safety in an adult population.
