A number of children have developed ‘werewolf syndrome’ after an apparent medication mix-up in which minoxidil found its way into a reflux medication. 

The 17 children, including babies, have developed hypertrichosis after being given what is thought to be omeprazole to help with gastric reflux, Spanish authorities have revealed.
