Yesterday, on my way to the Chennai Airport, I had this vague discomfort in my chest. I got my ECG done and BP checked in the clinic run by the Kaveri Hospitals in the Chennai Airport. ECG and BP were normal. Do not dismiss this kind of discomfort as something due to 'gas', ever! It's better to get yourself checked than regret latter! Also, pls discuss with your physician about hsCRP, lipoprotein(a), and CT calcium score. #heartattack #hsCRP #CTcalciumscore #lipoprotein(a) #lipidprofile

How dare you send me a notice Johnson & Johnson Health Equity Kenvue that I am maligning the names of ORSL and ERZL for my own commercial benefits and for increasing the number of followers for my page, and that you will drag me to the court?! My stance is predated and vindicated by the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th. Delhi High Court clearly refused to give a stay. Saying ERZL is the new form of ORSL is a clear violation of the ban order and is misleading those people who still believe ORSL is ORS. Your notice is being processed by our lawyers and they will deal with it. FSSAI Ministry of Health jp nadda Narendra Modi

Sir, Narendra Modi and jp nadda vijay rajmohan Dr. Himanshu Bansal, it's a national shame that FSSAI has consented to the request by JNTL(the Indian subsidiary of Kenvue which is a spin off of Johnson and Johnson) for a stay order to dispose of it's stock of high sugar ORSL! Sir, not only now, in future also, except WHO recommended formula ORS, no sachet or tetrapack should be allowed in the pharmacies(including online), hospitals, and schools, as far as rehydrating medicines are concerned. ORS should never be allowed to be used on the labels except for WHO Recommended Formula ORS even if these liquids are being sold in the supermarkets and quick commerce platforms only! Trusting that you will ensure the October 15th order is implemented with urgency!

The Food industry is lobbying for the Health Star Rating similar to the Nutri Score system. The Consumer Protection groups are asking for the FOPL warnings. The Honourable Supreme Court has directed the FSSAI to get back to the court about the FOPL warnings. Guess why it is not happening??!! The pressure from the Food industry??!! The Front-of-pack label(FOPL) warnings are the simplest and most effective way to help people make better food choices in India. A clear “High in Sugar” or “High in Salt” or "High in Fat" warning takes seconds to understand. No calculations. No nutrition knowledge. Just a simple signal that says, “Think twice.” The problem with systems like Nutri-Score or Health Star Ratings is that they average everything into one score. A product loaded with sugar can still look “healthy” because it has added protein, fiber, or vitamins. That’s where warning labels are different. A sugary breakfast cereal still gets HIGH IN SUGAR, even if fiber and vitamins are added to it. An instant noodle high in sodium still gets HIGH IN SODIUM even if protein and vitamins are added to it. A packaged fruit juice with excessive free sugars still gets HIGH IN SUGAR, though it's directly from the fruit. The unhealthy ingredient isn’t hidden behind a better-looking overall grade when FOPL warnings are used. For a country as diverse as India, warning labels also work across languages and literacy levels. A bold symbol is easier to recognize than interpreting letters, colors, or star ratings. Sometimes, the simplest system is the one people actually use. Please tag Ministry of Health and FSSAI and ask that FOPL warnings are to be implemented with urgency!

So, basically children need to die for the drug regulatory authority to wake up! CDSCO passed the buck to the FSSAI saying it didn't give permission for ORSL or RebalanzVitORS or ORSFIT. So,only if the deaths of children raise a national uproar, then they will act upon the companies labelling their drinks as ORS, electroyte drinks, rehydrate drinks etc etc and selling them in the pharmacies, schools, and hospital. That is not going to happen, because the cause of death will go down as death due to diarrhoea and dehydration, but not death due to worsening of diarrhoea because of the high sugar! Dear doctors(especially paediatricians), when you document death due to diarrhoea, please take thorough history about the liquids given by the parent to the child, and please share the information with me if any of these high sugar drinks turn out to be the culprits! All those who subtly threaten me by saying, 'you will be killed', keep those threats to yourself! @fssai_safefood Office Of J.P Nadda Narendra Modi @mohfwindia #WHOrecommendedFormulaORS #Diarrhoea #Vomiting #Dengue #Typhoid #Electral #electrokind #walyte #ranbaxyors #ciplaors #raftors #prolyteors #orslors #orsl #orslactiveplus #orslzero #orslrehydrate #prolyteelectroshot #RebalanzVitORS #GluconDActivORS #Zincovitactive #electrochoice #HimalayaRehydrate #indors #Deception #diabetes #dehydration #criminal #misleading

Who is to blame? The authorities for giving permission and allowing OTC sale, or the pharmacist handing them out without the prescription, or the parent? Victim is the baby, finally! If you ask me, if a medicine is not to be given to some one below 4 years of age, permission should not be given in the first place for these drops. If it is a schedule H drug, OTC sale should not be allowed. Ministry of Health #maxtradrops #sinarestAFdrops #solvincolddrops #zyrtecdrops #sinarestdrops There is nothing like 'cough syrup'. Cough can be because of a lot of congestion,bronchospasm, bronchiolitis, acid reflux, allergy or infection. It can be a habit cough, or due to inflammation of the throat or stress related. Address the underlying cause. Syrups available in India in the name of cough syrups contain either decongestants like phenylephrine (whose side effects are mostly due to overdosing or wrong dosing - increase in heart rate, increase in blood pressure, and arrhythmias), or anti allergy medications like chlorpheniramine and cetirizine (overdosing can cause sedation and respiratory depression- less with Levocetirizine, though), mucus breaking drugs like ambroxol and guaifenesin, bronchodilators like levosalbutamol and Terbutaline(overdosing can cause tremors, increased heart rate and arrhythmias) and cough suppressants like dextromethorphan and codeine(which can cause severe respiratory depression when overdosed). We should not suppress the cough, as it might even help in expelling the germs out. For every medicine there is a minimum age before which we can't give the medicine to the child, especially without the paediatricians's advice. For phenylephrine in India, it is now four years, though most guidelines say it is 2 years. For cetirizine, it is 6 months. In India the combination of Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine should not be used below 4 years of age. If a medicine is prescribed by a doctor, If the right dose is given by a mother for a right indication, problems usually don’t happen. The problem of overdosing happens when the parents go and buy over-the-counter medications, and give them randomly without knowing the doses. So, don’t buy the so called cough syrups on your own and decide to give them to the children. If they have a cough, paediatricians are there to address the underlying cause for cough and prescribe the treatment depending on the age group, symptoms, and the etiology. Stick to the doses, read expiry date. Doctors should write the prescriptions clearly, mention composition and tell the parents not to repeat the prescription, explain to them about dangers of wrong dosing, overdosing and repetition of prescription. First aid for cough mainly is compression with a warm cloth. In India many of them give steam directly. That is dangerous. If steam should be given, then the bathroom should be filled with the steam and the kid should be made to sit there.Don't give vicks,eucalyptus oil, Zindatilismath etc. In younger children they can cause seizures, and can worsen the cough and asthma symptoms. If the nose is blocked, put one to two drops of saline nose drops (from the pharmacies) in each nostril. If the cough is severe, the kid is vomiting or coughing continuously, consult the doctor. Drug regulators should avoid giving permission for drops and syrup with the same brand name, for unscientific combinations of medicines, for formulations with different components but the same brand name with a suffix or prefix. We need to have only a few standard brands or generic medicines with strong quality control. Form a panel of paediatricians for the same. Also, Terbutaline and Levosalbutamol shouldn't be part of the combinations. We have specific indications for these medicines. Safer route of administration for Levosalbutamol is using a nebulizer or MDI with or with out spacer, only if advised by the paediatrician when the child has bronchospasm. INFACT, AVOID COMBINATIONS!

When people were threatening me over social media and my family was upset, some times, I felt a little bit scared, maybe. Otherwise I really didn't bother about the threats, but for the first time, I am feeling really scared! Fear is neither a sign of weakness nor does it disqualify me from persisting with my fight for the children, especially, since they cannot fight for themselves! Fear only tells u that the stakes are very high! Humongous! Just praying that India rises up to the occasion, like it did, the last time, to stop these Corporate giants from wreaking havoc again, with the lives of our children!

My sincere and earnest request to you all! Pls do write to the Supreme Court of India! Let there be a strong law to protect future generations aswell! Nothing except WHO recommended formula ORS and water should ever be available in the pharmacies, medical facilities, and schools! ORS/DRS/QRS etc should not be there on the labels of any drink ever even if it's being sold in the supermarkets/online commerce platforms unless it conforms to the WHO recommended formula ORS.

This was shared with me by a retailer Rara Medical Store from Chattisgarh, and when I said, "I will hide the name and number, and share the screen shot", he said, "you can share my name. No problem. You have fought so much for the children. This is the least I can do. It's my duty"! Thanks to him for the alert! My question to the Honourable minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal Office Minister of Commerce and Industry is, "how was trademark licence given so fast, and that too, to a similar trademark as ORSL inspite of knowing how much damage ORSL did to the children of this country?". My question to the Honourable Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda Ministry of Health is, "Sir, how did FSSAI allow this?". My question to the Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "Sir, why are corporate interests being prioritized over public health?" We need answers! #kenvue #corporate #misbranding #misleading #ORSL

Today, both the Delhi High Court and the FSSAI have to give the decisions! It's for us, the people of India, especially the parents, to keep up the pressure! 180 crores can't bring back a child's life! 180 crores vs children's lives!

Every year, more than one lakh children die due to diarrhoea, in India. ORS(WHO RECOMMENDED FORMULA) is a life saver. It's very disheartening and angering to see 1. FSSAI giving permission to eRZL (looking exactly same as the high sugar ORSL), inspite of the harm caused to children for 2 decades, and inspite of us literally begging to not do it. 2. Kenvue, your Indian subsidiary seems to be the most unethical company here. It doesn't seem to care for the lives of our Indian children! eRZL is being handed as ORS now. It's a shame! 3. The president of Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), I hv literally begged u to ask Kenvue to rebrand in such a way that the new branding doesn't resemble the erstwhile high sugar ORSL, and instead you release a position paper influenced by Kenvue! The children of India vs Kenvue, and u chose Kenvue. Dear citizens of India, history is repeating! I hv taken up this issue legally, but that's going to take years, as u all know. It's time that u stand up for the children of India once again, and ensure history doesn't repeat! Ministry of Health pls ensure only CDSCO approved drugs(ORS) are available in the pharmacies and not FSSAI approved beverages! This seems to be the only way to protect the children of this country. #ORSL #eRZL #WHOrecommendedformulaORS #misbranding #misleadingmarketing #diarrhoea #death #children #diabetes #johnsonjohnson

Can you actually believe it???!! Can anybody be more pathetic than this??!! JNTL(Indian subsidiary of Kenvue which is a spin off of Johnso&Johnson) has approached the Delhi High Court again to dispose off it's stock! Thank you FSSAI Narendra Modi Jagat Prakash Nadda Ministry of Health, and most importantly our judiciary for not letting them push their drinks into the tummies of children with diarrhoea and dehydration! #JohnsonJohnson #kenvue #JNTL

Why is it so difficult to get ORS off the labels of drinks misleadingly labelled as ORS, inspite of the companies, the government, the people, the doctors, and everybody knowing that this misleading labelling can kill children and people. Waiting with palpitations for FSSAIs decision and the Delhi High Court's decision of 31st Oct 2025! It's so painful, but when people tell me I have given strength and hope to many who are fighting for a cause, that gives me the strength to go on. Never say die! Narendra Modi FSSAI Jagat Prakash Nadda Ministry of Health It's so painful! So so painful! I can't explain!

There is a limit to our patience! Delhi High Court has clearly ruled that tetrapacks/foods/beverages misbranded as ORS cannot be sold! Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on it's label! Inspite of the Delhi High Court's order, ORSL is being sold everywhere! I request child rights groups and human rights groups to take this up! These liquids worsen dehydration and diarrhoea! Diarrhoea kills! These liquids can land a person with Diabetes in Diabetic coma! I request the Supreme Court of India to take Suo moto cognizance of this total disrespect for the law of the land and callousness towards the health and lives of children!
