JAKARTA - The National Police Forensic Laboratory (Labfor) has tested a sample of Praxion which is said to be the cause of the emergence of new kidney failure cases in Jakarta. As a result, the drug is still considered safe for consumption. "So that the prexion drug is still safe for consumption," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta, Wednesday, March 8. The drug Praxion was declared safe because the results of the EG (ethilen glycol) and DEG (dietilen glycol) levels were still on the predetermined boundary. Thus, there may be other allegations that led to the emergence of new cases of kidney failure in children in Jakarta. The “Hasil uji terhadap obat Praxion tersebut menyatakan bahwa jenis obat tersebut masih sesuai dengan pembataran yang ditentukan,” kata Ramadhan. Meanwhile, two new cases of kidney failure emerged in West Jakarta and East Jakarta. From that case, one of the victims died. Temporary suspicion, the emergence of a new case of kidney failure due to taking a mild fever reduction drug, Praxion. On the other hand, Bareskrim Polri sent a summons for an examination of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). The examination aims to get facts in the new kidney failure case. This is because there are differences in explanations between BPOM and the Regional Health Laboratory (Labkesda) regarding the new case of a progressive atypical (GGAPA) acute kidney failure in Jakarta. "Sudah meluncurkan pemanggilan (ke BPOM, red), nanti beberapa hari baru datang," ujar Direktur Tindak Pidana Tertentu Bareskrim Polri Brigjen Pipit Rismanto.
