Pharmexcil suspends membership of Marion Biotech over failure to reply on Uzbekistan deaths

The Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil), a body under the Ministry of Commerce, has suspended the membership of Marion Biotech Pvt Ltd after the company failed to reply to it on the report of children's death allegedly caused by the firm's cough syrups in Uzbekistan.

The drug maker will lose some incentives due to the suspension, sources in Pharmexcil said.

"The incentives offered by the DoC (Department of Commerce) through Pharmexcil will not be extended until the suspension is revoked," sources told PTI.
