Indian authorities have tested cough syrups made by Maiden Pharmaceuticals after the WHO warned they may be linked to the deaths of 66 children in Gambia.
On October 6, Tribune India quoted Mr. Anil Vij, head of the health department of Haryana state - where Maiden Company has its factory, saying that syrup samples have been sent to the Central Pharmaceutical Laboratory for testing.
This person affirmed that Indian authorities will take strict action if any irregularities are found in the test results. Two unnamed Indian officials also said on the same day that India is waiting for more information from the World Health Organization (WHO) and will take all necessary measures.
Previously, WHO issued a warning that Maiden cough syrup could be linked to the deaths of 66 children in Gambia (Africa).
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed that the organization is investigating the deaths and seeking information and explanations from pharmaceutical regulators and Maiden Company.
The October 5 notice also cited a laboratory analysis that found "unacceptable" levels of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, which can be toxic and lead to acute kidney injury, according to Tribune India.
These substances are very toxic, causing users to experience symptoms such as stomachache, vomiting, diarrhea, headache..., and even death.
Maiden director Naresh Kumar Goyal said the company only learned about the deaths on the morning of October 6 and is working to get information from Gambia.
According to the Drugs and Drug Control Authority of India, Maiden Company has only supplied the above drugs to Gambia.
However, WHO does not rule out the possibility that these syrups are being supplied to other countries unofficially. The WHO Director-General recommends caution and calls on countries to review and ban the circulation of these products to avoid further harm to patients.
Gambian authorities have begun recalling syrups containing paracetamol and promethazine in several rural areas amid suspicions that they may be responsible for recent deaths from acute kidney injury.
