PIC medicine disaster: Isotab is the killer pill

LAHORE: 
A London laboratory has determined that Isotab, a medicine manufactured by Efroze Chemical Industries, caused the reaction that has so far cost 120 lives.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif revealed that Isotab tablets, which are meant for heart patients, had been contaminated with an anti-malarial chemical, which resulted in fatalities to patients who used it daily. The medicine was given free of cost to patients of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC).
