Following the deaths of 20 children in Madhya Pradesh allegedly from a prescribed cough syrup, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) is questioning why a doctor has been arrested while the pharmaceutical firm has not faced action. The IMA President stated, "doctor has become the scapegoat." The controversy revolves around contaminated cough syrup allegedly containing diethylene glycol, with the Telangana Drugs Control Administration banning two syrups, Relife and Recipe Fresh. While the Indian Drug Manufacturing Association calls for a full scientific investigation before assigning blame, it acknowledges that if a manufacturer’s product is found to be adulterated, they are liable for penal action, including imprisonment. The discussion highlights concerns about small firms cutting costs, compromising drug quality, and the effectiveness of regulatory oversight by agencies. Steps to tighten manufacturing standards, known as Schedule M, are reportedly underway. #coughsyrupdeaths #madhyapradesh #publichealth #itwebvideos #drugsafety #pharma #indianmedicalassociation #ima #doctors #healthcare #accountability #childdeaths #drugregulation #taintedmedicine #indiatoday #india
