- A medication mix-up in Spain led to children growing excessive amounts of body hair.
- The children were accidentally given hair restoration medication rather than medicine to help their upset stomachs.
- The issue stems from a mislabeling issue at the laboratory where the drugs were produced.
We trust doctors and other health care professionals to know what they're doing when it comes to administering medicines. That goes double when it comes to medicine for children and babies. Unfortunately, a very bizarre medication mix-up in Spain has led to over a dozen children developing thick body hair.
The problem stemmed from the accidental administration of minoxidil, which is used for hair restoration. The medical staff meant to administer omeprazole, which is a popular medication for resolving an upset stomach. The medication was allegedly mislabeled from the facility where it was produced, according to statements by authorities in Spain.
