Role of biclotymol-based products in the treatment of infectious sore throat. In clinical practice, physicians often prescribe antibiotics for the treatment of sore throat. However, current guidelines clarify that antibiotics should not be used in patients with less severe presentation of this condition in order to relieve symptoms. With the aim to limit the onset of resistance and reduce the occurrence of adverse events, other remedies can be used instead. For the past forty years, the use of biclotymol-based products has been a common practice for the treatment of sore throat. This paper reviews and critically discusses the role of biclotymol-based products as a local treatment of infectious oropharyngeal diseases.
