JAKARTA - The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) tested 64 drums containing the Glikol Propilent (PG) produced by the Thai Chemical POWER in the laboratory to look for evidence of links to harmful compounds in a number of sirop medicinal products. "The findings are currently being carried out by laboratory testing to find evidence of Ethilen Glikol (EG) and Dietilen Glikol (DEG) contents," said Head of BPOM RI Penny K Lukito in a press release received in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, October 1. The evidence of PG drums with 12 different bets numbers was confiscated by BPOM from CV Budiarta as a supplier of PG raw materials for the solvent mixture of DMP Flurin cirratory drugs produced by PT Yarindo Farmatama, and Unibebi with fever produced by PT Universal Pharmaceutical Industries. "From the results of the examination and deepening, PT Yarindo purchased PG raw materials produced by DOWN Chemical Thailand from CV Budiarta, while PT Universal purchased PG raw materials produced by DOWN Chemical Thailand from PT Logicom Solutions," he said. Penny said the results of the inspection of the production facilities found evidence that the pharmaceutical industry was changing the supplier of Drug Baku Materials (BBO) and using non-qualified BBO with EG contamination on raw materials exceeding the 0.1 percent safe threshold. The pharmaceutical industry also does not guarantee the quality of raw materials used for drug sirops and does not carry out the qualification process for raw material suppliers, so it is suspected to be related to cases of acute kidney failure in Indonesia. Confirmed separately, the President Director of Dow Indonesia, Riswan Sipayung, said that the results of a thorough internal investigation did not find the name of the company mentioned by BPOM in the company's customer list. "DOW has carried out a thorough internal investigation and we did not find the name of the company mentioned by BPOM in our customer list," he said. He said DOWN had provided all the data and information owned by the company to BPOM for further investigation. Riswan ensured that the PG supplied by the DOWN was sealed and did not contain EG and DEG. "The results of the detailed analysis and the requested documents have been submitted to BPOM," he said. DOWN expressed its readiness to carry out all the tests needed for the products produced in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in any country, operating DOWN, including Indonesia.
