Tainted drugs: FDA issues notices
Mumbai: Not wanting to take any chances after two women died at Siddharth Hospital, Goregaon (W), soon after they were administered an antibiotic injection, officials of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have taken samples of not just the two injections, but seven other drugs and devices used for their treatment.FDA officials called it a "precautionary measure' ' and said they had sent out notices to other hospitals and healthcare centres across the state so that drugs and devices from the batch involved weren't consumed elsewhere either.
