Toxic cough syrup refers to a 2007 scandal with Panamanian pharmaceutical manufacturers using diethylene glycol, which they believed to be glycerine, to make cough syrup. Diethylene glycol is a less expensive alternative to glycerine, however, diethylene glycol is nephrotoxic and can result in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), especially in children.
