"All pharmacies in Blora district have been given a circular, and for the time being do not sell syrup-type drugs to the public until an announcement is made from the government," he said.
Regarding how long, Willys explained that pharmacies were asked not to sell syrup drugs until the results of the search and research by the Ministry of Health and BPOM were completed.
The reason, according to the secretary of the Service, is to increase vigilance in the context of preventing kidney disorders.
In addition to pharmacies, the Blora Health Service has also asked all health workers in health facilities to temporarily refrain from prescribing medicines in the form of liquid/syrup availability.
"This is done to save our children, so that all people are alert," added Wilys. (Endah)
