Jakarta. The deaths of nearly 100 children in Indonesia have prompted the country to suspend the sale of all syrups and liquid medicines. At a time when about 70 children have died due to cough syrup in the Gambia, the latest incident has come to light in Indonesia.
Indonesia said some syrup medicines were found to contain ingredients linked to acute kidney injury (AKI), which has killed 99 young children this year. It is not clear whether the drug was exported or produced locally. Today, Indonesian health officials said they have reported about 200 cases of AKI in children.
