Abstract

Acute ingestion of ibuprofen commonly results in no symptoms, or minor gastrointestinal or central nervous system manifestations. While most cases of ibuprofen overdose do well, serious toxicity may occur, and is difficult to predict. A case of ibuprofen overdose is presented in which the course was complicated by metabolic acidosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and renal failure necessitating prolonged dialysis.
