Abstract
- Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic agent which has used for the treatment of rheumatoid and musculoskeletal disorders. Its side effects have generally been minor; these include dyspepsia, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, constipation, rashes, dizziness, and tinnitus. Ibuprofen is a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor that is not recommended for neonates. It is pharmacologically similar to indomethacin, which is used to treat symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants. We report here a case of a term infant who developed severe hyponatremia and generalized edema associated with the ingestion of an overdose of ibuprofen. The baby made a complete recovery.
