Reckitt Benckiser records better than expected results after rise in cases of coughs and flu
Reckitt Benckiser enjoyed better than expected results thanks to demand for its treatments for coughs, colds and flu, following a rise in cases after the lifting of global lockdowns.
The Berkshire-based consumer goods company recorded a “sharp improvement” in demand for its Strepsils, Mucinex and Nurofen after social mixing returned, with sales of over-the-counter medicines rising more than 20% in the three months to September.
