Adulterated & Abused: India's Killer Cough Syrup Crisis For Kids | India Today

Two children, one in Sikar and one in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, have died after taking a government-supplied cough syrup containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide. In response, the Rajasthan government has banned the specific batch and ordered a probe. The report reveals the manufacturer, Jaipur-based K Sons Pharma, was previously penalized in 2023 and February 2025 for supplying substandard drugs. It also highlights allegations of collusion between the company and drug regulators. The broader issue of cough syrup safety for children is explored, questioning their necessity. "The deaths in Rajasthan raise the same old concern really on cough syrups. Do our kids really need cough syrups?" The report cites international health bodies like the US FDA, which have warned against using these medications in young children due to potential serious side effects. #coughsyrup #rajasthan #health #itwebvideos #childrenshealth #dextromethorphan #pharma #drugsafety #indiatoday #publichealth #sikar #bharatpur #medicine #investigation #healthnews #ksonspharma Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
