Panel rejects child images on syrups
An expert committee in New Delhi has dismissed a proposal to permit child-related imagery, such as pictures of infants, toddlers or toys, on cough syrup labels. The committee argued that such depictions might imply the medication is appropriate for young children. Instead, it suggested a prominent red warning on cough syrup bottles stating that they should not be used in children under four years of age.
This proposal is currently under consideration by the government, who may amend the drugs rules to enforce the labelling requirement proposed by the drugs consultative committee.
