Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin stated that the government had found an antidot for cases of atypical progesive acute kidney failure or Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). When it was found out that the cause of acute kidney failure was the chemical compound contained in the solvent of the sirop drug, the government received information that the drug pharmapizole could be a recovery drug. This drug was imported from Singapore. "Once we know what the cause is, what is the toxic, we are looking for the medicine for toddlers who have been admitted to this hospital. We have found the medicine, the name is fomepizole. In Indonesia there is no one yet, so yesterday we took it from Singapore, we will handle the carry here," Budi said at a press conference, Friday, October 21. After being imported, this drug was taken in 10 acute kidney failure patients who were treated at the RSCM. As a result, some patients experience improving health conditions and others are stable or not worsening. Therefore, along with the increase in the number of acute kidney failure cases, the government will bring more fomepizole drugs to Indonesia. "Now 55 percent of patients have died. Hopefully, with the administration of this drug which has been tested on the third day at the RSCM, later it can reduce the fatality rate. So apart from preventing the source of the disease, we also conduct therapy in terms of medicines," explained Budi. As is known, the mysterious acute kidney failure or attypical progressive acute childney injury (AKI) is a condition when the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste from the blood and without knowing the cause. The Ministry of Health has examined that toddlers affected by mysterious acute kidney failure were detected as having 3 dangerous chemicals, namely ethylene glycol-EG, diethylene glycol-DEG, and ethylene glycol butyl ether-EGBE. These three chemicals are impurities of non-dangerous chemicals, polyethylene glycol, which is often used as solublicity noise in many mild drugs. Several types of Syrup drugs used by toddlers affected by AKI are proven to have EG, DEG, EGBE, which should not have had a / very few levels in the Gunadi Sadikin drug. Thus, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin issued a decision prohibiting the use of measures. The Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) has ordered the pharmaceutical industry to attract the circulation of 5 types ofAMps containing EGs exceeding the safe threshold. Five types ofhady drugs that are considered to contain EG contamination exceed a safe threshold are: 1.
