A global alarm has erupted about 4 cough syrups, after the World Health Organization warned that they may be linked to the death of 66 children in Gambia.

According to reports , these syrups are suspected to be related to serious kidney damage that has led to the death of 66 minors.

The products are manufactured by the Indian company Maiden Pharmaceuticals, which has failed to guarantee their safety. While there is still no official reaction from the company.

According to the WHO, these dangerous syrups bear the names, "Promethazine Oral Solution", "Kofexmalin Baby Cough Syrup", "Makoff Baby Cough Syrup" and "Magrip N Cold Syrup".

All four of these products have been found in The Gambia, but may have been distributed informally to other markets in the region or the world.
