Did you know: Sore throats and other respiratory tract infections like coughs and colds represent the leading global cause for antibiotic misuse in adults?​ Antibiotics are ineffective for 9 out of 10 sore throats, as they are usually viral, not bacterial and get better on their own.​ During Antimicrobial Awareness Week we’re fighting antibiotic misuse that contributes to the rise of antibiotic resistance, which is now the 3rd leading cause of death in the world.​ As leaders in the treatment of Sore Throats for the last 65 years, Strepsils is raising awareness of how to effectively treat a sore throat, saving antibiotics for when they are needed most. ​ #ThisIsReckitt #Strepsils​ #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #WAAW​
