” The 4 medicines are cough as well as cool syrups produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals Limited, in India. They failed the examination as they have undesirable quantities of diethylene glycol and also ethylene glycol as pollutants”, the global wellness company had mentioned. According to the tentative results received by the WHO, 4 out of the 23 samples checked have been discovered to contain either Diethylene Glycol/Ethylene Glycol.
WHAT IS DIETHYLENE GLYCOL, AND WHY IS IT DANGEROUS?
- Diethylene Glycol or Ethylene Glycol is considered toxic to the body. When taken in, it can cause kidney and also neurological toxicity. DEG has been associated with several cases of mass poisoning when eaten through medications.
- It is a colorless, virtually odorless, as well as hygroscopic fluid with a sweetish preference. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol.
- The poisonous impacts of Diethylene Glycol include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, failure to pass pee, frustration, a transformed psychological state, as well as severe kidney injury.
- According to a paper in the National Library of Medication 10 DEG mass poisonings have happened over the past 70 years. These mass poisonings were all brought on by DEG-contaminated fluid or lotion drugs. DEG contamination takes place when it is used in medical items rather than a much safer– but more pricey– diluent such as pharmaceutical-grade glycerin.
