India Oct 08, 2025

Arunachal Pradesh has banned Coldrif cough syrup after it was linked to the deaths of 14 children in Madhya Pradesh this year.
The move follows health advisories from national authorities and reports of similar incidents in other states, as concerns grow over the safety of the syrup made by Sresan Pharmaceutical.
