The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has claimed that the Gujarat Food and Drug Control Administration (FDCA) found toxic levels of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in batches of cough and allergic rhinitis syrups manufactured by Norris Medicines. Reportedly, the harmful substances in these syrups made by the Indian company can lead to significant health problems like diarrhea, vomiting, kidney injury, abdominal pain, and sometimes death, particularly among children.
