    On December 7, the World Health Organization published a list of low-quality syrups and suspensions. It includes the medicines Albergo, Madonna, Mucorid, Ulcofin and Zincell, produced by the Pakistani company Pharmix Laboratories (Pvt) Ltd.

    "There is no cause for concern - these medicines are not registered in Uzbekistan," the Center for Pharmaceutical Safety (Uzfarmcontrol) under the Ministry of Health of the country assured.

    The ministry also reported that since February 2023, the composition of syrups produced in our country and entering our country has been carefully checked for the presence of toxic substances diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG).
