Why was cepacol viractin taken off the market?

Cepacol Viractin was taken off the market due to safety concerns related to its use as a throat spray. The manufacturer, Reckitt Benckiser, voluntarily recalled the product after reports of adverse reactions, which included allergic reactions and other side effects. Regulatory scrutiny and changes in safety standards contributed to the decision to remove it from shelves. As a result, consumers were advised to discontinue its use and seek alternatives for sore throat relief.
