Haryana's Food and Drugs Administration has mandated pharmaceutical companies to affix warning labels on industrial solvents, prohibiting their use in pharmaceutical products. This directive follows the detection of toxic diethylene glycol in cough syrups nationwide, which has caused severe health issues and deaths, particularly in children. The state FDA's order requires clear "not for pharmaceutical use" labels on solvent containers and transaction documents to prevent misuse and enhance public health safety within the pharmaceutical supply chain.
