Antibiotic courses go unfinished everywhere — people stop early once symptoms fade, or buy half a pack because that's what they can afford. Roootx works with pharmacies to catch that moment at the counter, and nudges patients on WhatsApp until the last dose.
Built by the team behind growSmart and SafeCircle.
"Feeling better today?" is exactly when people stop. Day 6–7 are where Roootx reminders work hardest.
AMR risk zoneThe World Health Organization lists antimicrobial resistance among the top global public health threats. A big driver is ordinary and preventable: incomplete courses and partial-pack purchases at the point of sale.
Symptoms usually ease before the infection is fully cleared — so "feeling better" is the moment people quit, not a sign it's safe to.
Partial-course purchases are common where a full pack is a stretch — the leak is often affordability, not carelessness.
Bacteria that survive a half-finished course are the ones more likely to come back resistant — harder and costlier to treat next time.
Roootx sits between the pharmacist and the patient at the exact moment a course is sold — that's the only point where full-course behavior can still be shaped.
A QR code at your counter — nothing installed, nothing changed in how you dispense. Patients who opt in get reminded to finish what they bought, and come back to you for it.
We'll set up your QR code and walk your team through it in person.
Scan the code at the counter, or message us directly. We'll check in on WhatsApp until your course is done — no app to download, no account to make.
We'll text you a reminder schedule built around your course.
A simple loop that starts where the course is sold and follows through until it's finished.
A QR code opens WhatsApp with a message already started — no form, no typing, consent and contact captured in one tap.
wa.me linkDrug, course length, and whether the full course or a partial pack was bought — that last one tells us the most.
Under 90 seconds at the counterNot just dose timing — messages built to push back on the instinct to stop early, especially in the last two days.
Course-completion focusedOn the expected last day, we ask directly: did you finish? If not, we ask why — forgot, felt better, couldn't afford it.
Real drop-off dataWe work closely with each pharmacy to get set up right — the counter, the QR code, the first patients — before moving to the next.
