AROUND 20 Spanish children have sprouted hair all over their bodies after they were mistakenly given hair restorer for stomach upsets.
Pictures show the hair-covered skin of the young children who live in the city of Torrelavega in the northern Spanish region of Cantabria.
Local officials admitted that a group of children were mistakenly given minoxidil, a medication for hair growth, instead of omeprazole, used to treat gastric reflux.
The mislabelled syrup was delivered to pharmacies in Granada, Cantabria and Valencia where chemists mixed it into a formula to treat reflux.
The children’s furious parents went public and it was later confirmed that 20 children were affected in Andalusia and the Valencian Community prompting a similar probe on the suspicion the same mistake may have been made there.
Two years after the medical blunder, the families of some children have complained that despite treatment, the hair keeps growing, and they are now demanding compensation.
