Toxic drug capsules exposed in pharmaceutical production hub


Photo taken on April 16, 2012 shows the toxic drug capsules in the depository of Zhuokang Capsule Co., Ltd. in Xinchang County, east China's Zhejiang Province. By Monday noon, police in Xinchang had detained 11 people who allegedly produced and sold pharmaceutical capsules containing excessive levels of chromium. An investigative report from China Central Television revealed on Sunday that several companies in Xinchang, a major pharmaceutical production hub in China, had manufactured drug capsules with industrial gelatin, which contains a much greater amount of chromium than edible gelatin and is illegal to use for making drug capsules.

A paper strip seal issued by local police is seen on a laboratory door of Zhuokang Capsule Co. Ltd., a company suspected of using industrial gelatin to produce medicine capsules, in Xinchang, east China's Zhejiang Province, April 16, 2012. Rage and condemnation surged in China once more after media reports revealed that some capsule medication contain excessive amount of chromium, which is hazardous to human health. A total of 13 commonly used drugs were packed into capsules made from industrial gelatin, which contains a much higher degree of chromium than edible gelatin, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Sunday in a program on quality issues. The gelatin for industrial use is made from waste leather materials, usually highly contaminated by chromium, as a result of the tanning agent used when processing leather. Chromium can be toxic and carcinogenic if ingested in excessive amounts. Police in Zhejiang Province said Monday they had captured 22 people who allegedly produced and sold the substandard capsules.
