OPINION: Answers needed over Spain’s ‘werewolf’ drug contamination scandal

HOW on earth did children’s medication become contaminated with a hair-growth protein meant for alopecia patients? 

It must have been extremely upsetting for the parents of the affected children who suddenly began growing hair all over their bodies. 

It is also incredibly worrying how such a contamination could have gone unnoticed for so long. 

It’s good to hear that the company responsible has ceased trading, let’s hope the parents are awarded some form of compensation. 

What if a more harmful substance had contaminated the children’s formula? A full investigation is needed to answer what went wrong and how.
