'Artificial Tears': US CDC issues advisory against India-made eye-drop | Explainer | Oneindia News

The US FDA has issued advisory against using ‘Artificial Tears’…an eye drop manufactured by an Indian pharmaceutical company.

This is the third such incident in the recent times in which Indian pharmaceutical companies have been in the crosshairs of health authorities.

Just few months back, a controversy had erupted over the death of 66 children in Gambia after taking cough syrup imported from India.

Then, towards the end of December, Uzbekistan had also claimed that 18 of 21 children with acute respiratory diseases died after ingesting Dok-1 Max syrup…a syrup that was manufactured and exported to Uzbekistan.

In this video, we take a look at the possible reasons why the US FDA has issued caution over an India-made eye drop.

'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. Melatonin has become a popular supplement in recent years for being a safe and effective sleep aid. According to a 2023 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), nearly two-thirds of people in the United States have tried using melatonin to help them sleep. . It’s not something that is generally harmful or toxic, which is probably why people are tempted to take more when a little bit doesn’t work, Dr. Milena Pavlova, neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, via 'Time'. 'Time' points out that supplements, such as melatonin, are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Similar to melatonin, over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl have become a popular sleep-aid due to containing doxylamine, which causes drowsiness. However, doxylamine also comes with a number of side effects, including a potential hangover the next day. The big problem with antihistamines is they can make people extremely groggy and really impair cognitive function the next day, Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, professor of medicine in the division of sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, via 'Time'. While antihistamines can induce drowsiness, they don't normally result in quality, restorative sleep. Experts suggest eliminating things that prevent healthy sleep, like alcohol and caffeine, while also incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.

The FDA added that the impacted products , "could be unsafe for prolonged use.". NPR reports that long-term lead exposure in children can lead to slower development, brain and nervous system damage, as well as behavioral and learning problems.

The FDA said that "historically, lead chromate has been illegally added to certain spices" to increase their weight and enhance their color, "which increases the monetary value of the adulterated spices." . FDA's leading hypothesis remains that this was likely an act of economically motivated adulteration, FDA statement, via NPR
