AUSTIN, Texas —
The Texas Department of State Health Services said Friday the products are marketed primarily to Hispanic consumers. The agency said the names of the products are similar to well-known antibiotics such as Amoxicillin.
Officials said the products are available in capsule, syrup and other forms and sold under names such as Amoxilina, Pentrexcilina, Ampitrexyl, Citricillin, Amoximiel and Pentreximil.
Authorities said they are investigating the source of the products and urged consumers to discard any they might have purchased.
The investigation started after doctors in an Austin hospital reported that several children were given these products by their parents.
