\"\"New Delhi: The number of children, died after drinking cough syrup in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, has increased to 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, initial investigations have revealed that the cough syrup contained the industrial chemical diethylene glycol, which is a highly toxic substance and even in small quantities can cause severe damage to the kidneys and be fatal.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of Health, 48.6 percent diethylene glycol was found in the medicine samples, which is much higher than the dangerous limit for human consumption.<\/p>\n

The drug was manufactured in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu under the name “Coldrif” and was prescribed to the affected children by renowned pediatrician Dr Praveen Soni.<\/p>\n

After the incident, the Madhya Pradesh government has imposed a complete ban on the sale of not only this drug but also all products of the company concerned.<\/p>\n

The police have arrested Dr Praveen Soni and started further investigation.<\/p>\n

According to officials, samples of the drug have been sent for further laboratory analysis to reveal the full reasons for the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
