EFFICACY The golden poison dart frog from Columbia, considered the most poisonous creature on earth, is a little less than 2 inches when fully grown. Indigenous Emberรก, people of Colombia have used its powerful venom for centuries to tip their blowgun darts when hunting, hence the species' name. The EFFICACY of its venom is such that it can kill as much as 10 grown men simply by coming into contact with their skin. Knowing the importance of EFFICACY in the world of medicine, GSK, after years of research and development, developed Augmentin, the antibiotic with a high EFFICACY rate in healing people.
