( rch. Niu and six others at the drug mak...)Investigators Find Poisonous Chemicals In Four More Drugs In China,Health

rch. Niu and six others at the drug maker, including three top company officials, have been detained.

The Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong's provincial capital Guangzhou bought 3,600 ampoules of the tainted Armillarisin, the Guangzhou Daily reported yesterday. The hospital used 887 ampoules on its patients. The hospital authorities have said five people had died of kidney failure caused by the injections.

The police have placed seven suspects, including factory leaders, under arrest. The, police officers from Guangdong province arrived at the pharmaceutical factory for on-site investigations on Wednesday.

Meanwhile experts feel that a complete overhaul of China's drug production enforcement laws is necessary following the deaths of five people administered with counterfeit medication. While some were concerned with drug safety in hospitals, and others are condemning the drug maker, there is a general feeling about the ineffective drug inspection system in China at present, and a appeal for a fairer drug production and distribution environment in China. Many experts believe that China has been weak in imposing penalty measures on the producers of unqualified products, and appealed for stiffer penalties to be imposed.
