The Department of Drugs Control in Tamil Nadu has implemented a ban on the sale of Coldrif cough syrup across the state. This measure comes after reports linked the medicine to child fatalities in other regions, specifically noting three deaths in Rajasthan (two in Sikar and one in Bharatpur).
An unnamed minister has publicly stated that the reported link between the cough syrup and the deaths is “baseless.” Meanwhile, the Rajasthan government has responded by forming a committee and vowing accountability for those found responsible for the fatalities.
