The Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan has recently alleged that children who drank ‘Dak-1 Max’ syrup manufactured by Marian Biotech Company died of severe respiratory problems. 18 of the 21 children were declared dead.

It is known that a similar incident took place a few months ago. 66 children died in the country of Gambia after drinking the syrups produced by ‘Maiden Pharma’ company of Sonepat, Haryana.
