Serious/ 18 children die from cough syrup produced in India

At least 18 children have died in Uzbekistan after consuming a medicinal syrup produced by the Indian drug manufacturer Marion Biotech, writes CNN. 

The ministry said 18 out of 21 children who received 'Doc-1' Max syrup while suffering from an acute respiratory illness died after consuming it. It is sold on the company's website as a treatment for cold and flu symptoms.

One batch of the syrup contained ethylene glycol, which the ministry said was a toxic substance. The syrup was imported to Uzbekistan by Quramax Medical, the ministry said in its statement released on Tuesday.

He also said that the syrup was given to children at home without a doctor's prescription, either by their parents or on the advice of pharmacists, in doses that exceeded the standard dose for children.

It was not immediately clear whether all or any of the children had consumed the suspected batch or consumed more than the standard dose, or both.

Marion Biotech, Quramax Medical and India's Health Ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request seeking comment. An Indian government source told Reuters that the Health Ministry was looking into the matter
