flag Kerala bans Sresan and Rednex cough syrups after child deaths linked to tainted medicine.

flag Kerala has banned all medicines from Sresan Pharmaceuticals after Tamil Nadu revoked its manufacturing license. flag The state also halted sales of Respifresh TR syrup (60ml, Batch R01GL2523) by Rednex Pharmaceuticals following failed quality tests. flag Five suppliers must stop distribution, and strict action will be taken against sales, especially to children under 12 without a prescription. flag The syrup is not on Kerala’s essential drugs list or supplied to government hospitals. flag The move follows at least 16 child deaths linked to Coldrif syrup in Madhya Pradesh. flag Health Minister Veena George emphasized that prescribing cough syrups to children under two is unscientific, and the state has formed a committee to review pediatric cough syrup management and enforce stricter prescribing rules.
