Why Gujarat has ordered cough syrup recall
Gujarat has just ordered two pharma companies to recall specific cough syrups, following reports that contaminated medicine may have caused several child deaths in Madhya Pradesh.
Even though no substandard (NSQ) medication was found at the factories, the government isn't taking any chances and wants these syrups off shelves for now.
All 624 syrup makers in Gujarat are now facing strict checks
The affected batches—Respifresh (Rednex Pharmaceuticals) and Relife (Shape Pharma)—are banned from sale while more lab tests happen.
All 624 syrup makers in Gujarat are now facing strict checks on their ingredients and processes.
This is a big move to keep unsafe medicines away from people and rebuild trust in Gujarat's huge pharma industry.
For anyone who uses these products or cares about medicine safety, it's a reminder of how quickly things can change when health is at risk.
