KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. An Indonesian drugmaker whose cough syrup is among products linked to the deaths of more than 200 children last year used ingredients with toxin concentrations of up to 99% in 70 batches of medicine, prosecutors said in a court filing.
The accusations against drugmaker Afi Farma were made in a court in Kediri, in the province of East Java, where the company is based. Reuters is the first to report the charge that it used highly toxic ingredients.
