Almont-Kid Syrup Banned in Telangana After Toxic Contamination Found
Overview

Telangana drugs control has ordered an immediate stop to the use of Almont-Kid Syrup, flagging it as adulterated with toxic Ethylene Glycol. The state agency issued a public alert and directed retailers to freeze stock, following a CDSCO warning about the Tridus Remedies-manufactured product.

Public Safety Alert Issued

The Telangana Drugs Control Administration has issued a critical public safety alert, urging consumers to immediately stop using Almont-Kid Syrup. This directive follows a serious warning from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), East Zone, Kolkata, confirming the syrup is adulterated with Ethylene Glycol, a highly toxic substance. The product in question is manufactured by Tridus Remedies, based in Hajipur.

Regulatory Action Underway

Tridus Remedies faces a stern regulatory crackdown. State drug inspectors and assistant directors have been dispatched to notify all retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and hospitals. The instruction is to freeze all available stocks of the implicated batch. Under no circumstances should this syrup be dispensed or sold further.

Consumer Reporting Encouraged

Consumers who possess Almont-Kid Syrup are strongly advised to discontinue its use without delay. They are encouraged to report their findings to the nearest Drugs Control Authority or directly contact the Telangana Drugs Control Administration. A dedicated Toll-Free Number, 1800-599-6969, has been provided for public reporting. This swift action highlights the potential risks associated with substandard pharmaceutical products and the vigilance of regulatory bodies.
