| Kenya's pharmacy board has recalled a batch of cough syrup that has been reported to be contaminated with a toxic substance. | |
| The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) said it had received an alert that the medicine could prove fatal if consumed. | |
| In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Kenya's drug regulatory authority said it was acting on the advice of the Nigerian food and drug agency. | |
| It had detected an unacceptably high level of diethylene glycol in a batch of Benylin Paediatric in 100ml bottles and issued a recall in Nigeria on Wednesday. | |
| The effects of ingesting diethylene glycol include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, altered mental state and acute kidney injury, the PPB said. | |
| The alert only applies to Batch No 329304 of Benylin Paediatric 100ml, which is due to expire this month. | |
| The PPB ordered all pharmaceutical outlets, healthcare facilities and healthcare workers in Kenya to stop distributing it. | |
| It said it was now conducting its own investigations. | |
| Johnson & Johnson, which manufactures the syrup in South Africa, has not commented. | |
