Justice Sheikh Najamul Hassan of the Lahore High Court on Monday issued notice on a miscellaneous application, seeking ban on sale of Tyno cough syrup which had caused death of many users.
The judge directed the officials concerned to appear on Tuesday (today) to inform the court about the measures taken for safety of patients.
The application was moved into an already pending petition, seeking judicial inquiry into the casualties caused by the use of toxic cough syrup, Tyno, and registration of cases against all the responsible, including authorities. Judicial Activism Panel chairman Azhar Siddiqe advocate and Trade Welfare Organization of Tollinton Market Lahore President Muhammad Tariq Javed moved the application, stating that 33 people had died in Gujranwala and Kamokey areas due to the killer syrup. The lawyer said that chemical samples, collected from the victims’ stomachs, contained dextromethorphan, a synthetic morphine derivative, used in cough syrup that could have mind-altering effects if consumed in large quantities. He said that it was being investigated whether the people affected by the syrup had consumed too much of it or there was a problem with the medicine itself.
