Poisonous cough medicine behind the death of children- experts Senior nephrologist Dr. Sanjay Gupta said that the urination of children had stopped. The condition occurred due to ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG). Both compounds reached the body of children due to adulteration in syrup of cough. This caused his kidney to deteriorate and died.
These solvent are used illegally Dr. Girish Bhatt, a child nephrologist of Bhopal AIIMS, says- DEG is an industrial solvent, which is illegally inserted into drugs instead of safe materials. It goes into the body and turns into dyglycholic acid, which badly destroys the kidney and nerves.
Poisonous adulteration instead of sweet solvent According to nephrologist Dr. Sanjay Gupta, compounds such as propaline glycol and sorbitol are normally added to the drugs to give sweetness and taste. Many times their place is intentionally or accidentally replaced ethylene glycol. Its property is also sweet and cooling, but it is extremely dangerous for the body.
The only effective treatment for patients is Phomapizol Dr. Gupta said that the only effective treatment for patients affected by DEG or EG is Phomapizol. This drug prevents alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme, which does not cause toxic metabolites in the body. Along with this, treatment is also given like dialysis, IV fluids and ventilator support.

Medicines made from here are reaching the market on a large scale. Experts say that strict action should be taken against companies coming out of these areas.
Doctors and pharmaceutical experts have warned that such dangerous combinations should be immediately banned. According to Dr. Girish Bhatt, Bal Nephrologist of AIIMS Bhopal, manufacturers who have been playing with the lives of people by ignoring the rules should be taken action under serious legal provisions like non -inspiring homicide (man slotter).
