A consignment of antibiotic phials was removed from the Colombo South Teaching Hospital on Dec. 27 as foreign particles were found in them. The entire stock had been sent to the National Drug Control Laboratory for further investigations, Colombo South Teaching Hospital Director Dr. Asela Gunawardena said.
He said speculation in some quarters was that the contents were fragments of glasses. But without a comprehensive laboratory investigation it was wrong to arrive at such conclusions, he said, pointing out that the foreign particles were being investigated by the National Drug Control Laboratory.
