The deaths of several children in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan from suspected kidney failure after consuming a contaminated cough syrup have raised serious concerns. The syrup, Cold Riff, was allegedly found to contain diethylene glycol, a toxic industrial solvent. While the manufacturer’s license has been cancelled and a prescribing doctor in Chhindwara arrested, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has defended the doctor, with one member asking, “How is the doctor responsible for this? He is not responsible.” This incident places a sharp focus on the country’s drug regulation system, questioning the roles of the Central and State drug control bodies, which are responsible for approvals, licensing, and periodic quality checks. With at least six states banning the syrup, the tragedy serves as a wake-up call, prompting widespread debate on pharmaceutical oversight and accountability to prevent such incidents. #killersyrup #coughsyrup #indiatoday #itwebvideos #coldriff #drugsafety #publichealth #regulatoryfailure #madhyapradesh #rajasthan #accountability #healthcrisis #diethyleneglycol #pharma #childrenshealth #justice
