DCA Issues Warning | 'Coldrif'Syrup ka Istemaal Fauran Rok Dein

The Telangana Drugs Control Administration (DCA) has warned the public to stop using Coldrif syrup, Batch SR-13, over suspected toxic contamination linked to child deaths in India

 

Telangana ke Drugs Control Administration (DCA) ne awaam ko ek  zaroori aur serious alert  jaari karte hue kaha hai ke log  Coldrif Syrup, khas taur par  Batch Number SR-13  (jo May 2025 me manufacture hua tha), ka istemaal  fauran band kar dein.

Yeh syrup   Sresan Pharma, Kancheepuram district (Tamil Nadu) me banaya gaya tha. aur ab is batch par  diethylene glycol (DEG) ke contamination (zahriya amal) ka shuba hai — jo ek  bohot khatarnaak chemical hai aur  kidney failure tak ka sabab ban sakta hai.

 

 Kya Hai Coldrif Syrup Aur Kya Masla Hai?

 Coldrif syrup asal me ek  common cold aur cough medicine hai, jo generally bachon aur baron ke liye prescribe hoti hai. Isme   paracetamol, phenylephrine hydrochloride aur  chlorpheniramine maleate  shamil hain — jo bukhar, sardi aur naak band hone me madad karte hain. Lekin ab DCA ke investigation ke mutabiq, is batch me  toxic chemical DEG milne ka andesha hai. Yeh wahi chemical hai jise peene ya body me jaane se  gurdon (kidneys) par asar hota hai aur  zindagi ke liye khatra ban sakta hai.

 

 Bachon ki Maut ke Baad Investigation Shuru

 Reports ke mutabiq,  Madhya Pradesh  aur  Rajasthan  me kuch  bachon ki maut Coldrif syrup peene ke baad hui hai. In deaths ka direct connection abhi tak confirm nahi hua, lekin doctors aur investigators ka kehna hai ke symptoms DEG poisoning se milte julte hain — jaise vomiting, stomach pain, urination band hona, aur kidney failure.

Isi wajah se DCA ne  Telangana me bhi emergency investigation shuru kar di hai. taake dekha ja sake ke kya yeh contaminated batch state me supply hua hai ya nahi.

 

DCA ka Awaam Se Appeal

 Telangana DCA ne public se appeal ki hai ke agar kisi ke paas Coldrif syrup (Batch SR-13) maujood ho, to use  fauran istemaal karna band karein aur uski  information DCA officials ko report karein.

 Aap directly  DCA ko report kar sakte hain is toll-free number par:1800-599-6969. Yeh helpline subah 10:30 se shaam 5:00 baje tak (working days me) active hai. Officials ne kaha hai ke  public reports bohot important hain, kyunki unse hi contaminated stocks ko identify aur market se withdraw karne me madad milegi.

 

Tamil Nadu DCA ke Saath Coordination

Telangana ke DCA officials ne bataya ke woh Tamil Nadu Drugs Control Administration ke saath milkar kaam kar rahe hain, taake Coldrif ke supply chain aur distribution routeko trace kiya ja sake.

Drug Inspectors aur Assistant Directors ko order diya gaya hai ke woh  poore state ke pharmacies, wholesalers aur hospitals  ko alert karein, taake agar kahin yeh batch ka stock mila to usse  fauran seize (jabt)  kar liya jaye.

 

 Pharmacies Aur Hospitals Ko Alert

 DCA ne sab  medical shops aur private hospitals  ko strictly guide kiya hai ke woh apne stock me Coldrif syrup ke  Batch SR-13  ko check karein. Agar unke paas yeh batch maujood hai, to use  fauran freeze  karein aur DCA ko inform karein. Yeh bhi kaha gaya ke agar kisi ne Coldrif syrup already becha hai, to woh  customer records check karein aur affected patients tak pohchne ki koshish karein, taake unhe timely medical advice di ja sake.

 Public Health Ke Liye Zaroori Qadam

Officials ne kaha ke DCA poori koshish kar raha hai ke yeh  toxic syrup  Telangana me logon tak na pahuche.

Unhone kaha:

 “Public safety humara pehla farz hai. Hum ensure kar rahe hain ke contaminated products market se turant hata diye jayein.”

 

DCA ne yeh bhi kaha ke agar kisi ne Coldrif syrup ka istemaal kiya hai aur uske baad  koi unusual symptoms (jaise vomiting, body pain, breathing problem ya urine kam aana) mehsoos ho rahe hain, to  fauran doctor se contact karein. 

 

 Kya Hai Diethylene Glycol (DEG)?

DEG  ek  industrial chemical hai jo normally  antifreeze aur industrial solvents  me istemaal hota hai.

Lekin agar yeh galti se ya jaan boojh kar medicine me mix ho jaye, to yeh  bahut zeherila  sabit hota hai.

•  DEG poisoning ke symptoms kuch is tarah ke ho sakte hain:
• Severe vomiting aur stomach pain
• Kidney failure (urine band hona)
• Breathing difficulty
• Drowsiness aur coma

Death in extreme cases

 Isiliye, agar koi syrup DEG se contaminate ho jaye, to use  medicine market se turant withdraw karna zaroori hota hai.

 

 Bachon Par Asar Sabse Zyada  

 Experts ke mutabiq,  children aur infants par DEG poisoning ka asar aur bhi zyada hota hai. kyunki unka immune system weak hota hai.

Isi wajah se Madhya Pradesh aur Rajasthan me hue incidents ne health authorities ko hila kar rakh diya hai.

Telangana ke doctors bhi ab alert hain aur unhone parents ko advice di hai ke  Coldrif syrup ya kisi unknown cough syrup ka istemaal apne bachon ko bilkul na karayein jab tak DCA ka final report nahi aata.
