Recall on infant Ibuprofen at Wal-Mart, CVS, Family Dollar

New Jersey based company Tris Pharma is recalling several of its medication drops due to higher concentrations of Ibuprofen. 

Because of these concentrations, several ibuprofen oral suspension drops products may put infants at risk for renal injuries though no “serious adverse events” have been reported at this time, the company stated in an article on its website:  

“Infants already susceptible to the adverse effects of ibuprofen may be at a slightly higher risk if they receive medication from an impacted bottle. There is a remote probability that infants, who may be more susceptible to a higher potency level of drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal injury. 

Some units from these six lots have been found to contain Ibuprofen as high as 10 percent above the specified limit. Studies have shown that safety issues or toxicity is generally accepted to be a concern in infants at doses in excess of 700 percent of the recommended dose.” 

These products are being recalled from Wal-Mart, CVS Pharmacy and Family Dollar Services.
