An India Today TV investigation has found a banned, toxic chemical in cough syrups available for purchase. This comes amid reports of child deaths linked to contaminated medicines in places like Gambia and Tamil Nadu. The discussion highlights a systemic failure, questioning why the burden of verifying medicine safety falls on consumers rather than the government. Dr. Neelam Mohan states, "kidney failure can occur only because of diethylene glycol, which is converted in a product which damages the kidney tubules and give rise to necrosis and kidney failure." The segment also explores the complex debate between prescribing cheaper generic drugs versus trusted branded medicines, especially when quality control is a major concern, and calls for stringent, pan-India regulatory oversight and accountability to prevent such tragedies. #drugsafety #coughsyrup #contamination #healthalert #indiatoday #diethyleneglycol #publichealth #regulatoryfailure #pharma #genericvsbrand #indianhealthcare #patientsafety #medicinecheck #systemicfailure #toxicsyrup
