The drug regulatory authority has called for stern action against the manufacturers of Coldrif cough syrup, following reports of serious offenses. The syrup has been linked to at least 14 fatalities across multiple states, with a doctor arrested in connection to the deaths. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has directed the Tamil Nadu FDA to take strict action against the manufacturer. Madhya Pradesh has banned the sale of Coldrif and arrested a doctor after 11 children died from consuming the syrup, while Kerala has also banned the product following unexplained child deaths. The government has ordered a detailed probe into the Coldrif issue, and several states have suspended or banned the sale of the syrup, with the Health Ministry confirming that samples from a Tamil Nadu plant contained the contaminant Diethylene Glycol (DEG).
