JAKARTA - Indonesian police said on Monday a local trader of industrial-grade chemicals sold them as pharmaceutical-grade, leading to their use in medicated syrups that authorities suspect may have caused deaths of more than 200 children across the country.
The authorities have said two ingredients, ethylene glycol and diethyelene glycol , found in some syrup-based paracetamol medications are linked to acute kidney injury, which many of the children suffered. The two ingredients are used in antifreeze, brake fluids and other industrial applications, but also as a cheaper alternative in some pharmaceutical products to glycerine, which is a solvent or thickening agent in many cough syrups. They can be toxic and can lead to acute kidney injury.
Senior police official Pipit Rismanto told reporters the authorities have found that CV Samudera Chemical sold “industrial-grade” EG and DEG as pharmaceutical-grade propylene glycol manufactured by Dow Chemical Thailand and supplied them to distributors of local drug-makers. Police have arrested and charged officials at Samudera and its distributor CV Anugrah Perdana Gemilang. More suspects may be named as the investigation continues, Mr Pipit said.Mr Riswan Sipayung, the president director of Dow Indonesia, said the company was “committed to working with the government, distributors and industry partners to do our part in mitigating the pervasive and urgent issue of counterfeiting and tackling this industry-wide problem with all stakeholders”.
