It was a retrospective study involving data obtained from outpatient case notes that were prescribed with cephalosporin and penicillin antibiotics during the 6 months period of January to June 2010. A total of six hundred and fourteen (614) case notes were randomly selected and used for the study. One hundred and sixty seven (167) (27%) patients were of the age group 0 -9 years, 31(5%) patients were aged 10 -19 years and 226 (37%) patients were of age group 20 -29 years . Four hundred and forty (440) (71.7%) patients were males while 174 (28.3%) patients were females. Among diagnosis studied were upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) 238 (38.8%) and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) (21.0%) (p = 0.00393) (p
