Texas health officials have opened an investigation on several over-the-counter products they say are labeled to appear as antibiotics. The Texas Department of State Health Services said the products are marketed primarily to Hispanic consumers. The agency says the names of the products are sold under names such as Amoxilina, Pentrexcilina, Ampitrexyl, Citricillin, Amoximiel and Pentreximil and are available in capsule, syrup and other forms. The investigation started after doctors in an Austin hospital reported that several children were given these products by their parents.
