Cough Syrup Testing News Today

The decision to implement quality checks before export was introduced after India-made syrups were linked to dozens of deaths in Gambia and Uzbekistan in 2002.

The direction has come after quality concerns were raised globally for cough syrups exported by Indian firms.
