Ensuring Compliance in Cough Syrups – Detecting Impurities Using Gas Chromatography
In recent times, tragic incidents were reported where children lost their lives after consuming cough syrups contaminated with impurities in Propylene Glycol (PG), Glycerin, or Sorbitol — the common solvents used in syrups.
These impurities (mainly ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol) are highly toxic and enter the formulation when raw materials are not properly tested before use.
At our facility, we ensure 100% compliance and quality control. Every batch of PG, Glycerin, and Sorbitol undergoes Gas Chromatography (GC) testing, which precisely detects and quantifies even trace levels of such harmful impurities before the material is approved for manufacturing.
Our commitment is simple — No compromise on safety, no lapse in purity.
