Error of pharmacists from Spain called "Werewolf Syndrome"

Spain has filed a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company Farma-Sur Química, through the fault of which 17 babies revealed "werewolf syndrome", also known as hypertrichosis. It leads to increased rate of hair growth, and they become stiff and thick. Parents were shocked when they saw how gentle "fluff" to their kids becomes a kind of animal wool.

The main reason for the development of hypertrichosis is a genetic mutation, inherited. Because of them, members of some families look like the fabulous werewolf in the Middle ages this led to serious harassment. Today, doctors quickly found that with the genes of the affected children are all right. In addition, they were surprised by the geographical spread of the problem – cases were recorded in Cantabria, Valencia, Andalusia and Granada.

The police found out that the only common factor is the use of children cure for acid reflux called Omeprazole. But it has nothing to do with hypertrichosis, so investigators undertook the study of the conditions of production of the drug. There, too, everything was in order, but it turned out that the finished product is sold wholesale and packaging supplies to pharmacies engaged a third party company. In the warehouse of one of them and found trouble at the undiagnosed cause of Omeprazole filled in the container of Minoxidil. Very powerful medicine against male pattern baldness.

Six-month-old son Angel of Seles became one of the 17 infants with a diagnosis of acquired forms of hypertrichosis in the regions of Cantabria, Valencia, Andalusia and Granada.

"Forehead, cheeks, arms and legs of my son were covered with hair," said the mother of one of the victims of Angela Selles Spanish daily newspaper El País.

If containers have been sterilized, as required by the rules, the problems would not have arisen. Fortunately, a short reception stimulator of hair growth didn't hurt kids, soon their bodies will be back to normal.

You can not say about the situation with Farma-Sur Química, against which at the request of angry parents has filed several criminal cases. Confusion with children's drugs is not a joke but a serious crime.
