Kerala Bans All Medicines from Sresan Pharma; Respifresh TR Syrup Withdrawn

Kerala has suspended the distribution of all medicines manufactured by Sresan Pharmaceuticals, based in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, following the cancellation of the company’s licence by Tamil Nadu’s Drug Controller, Health Minister Veena George said. Additionally, the sale and distribution of Respifresh TR 60ml syrup (Batch No. R01GL2523), manufactured by Gujarat-based Rednex Pharma, have been halted after reports of poor quality from the Gujarat Drug Controller. Distributors and pharmacies have been ordered to stop sales immediately. The minister warned that strict action would be taken against violators and urged the public not to use the medicine. The government clarified that these drugs are not distributed through government hospitals.
