Babies develop ‘werewolf syndrome’ after medication mix-up
Hair-loss treatment mistakenly put in reflux medication taken by children
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.
