Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently used in children for fever and pain. It is usually considered to be safe and of low risk at low doses and short-term use. Patients and methods: The aim of our study was to review the cases of gastrointestinal bleeding and assessment of gastrointestinal bleeding after recommended doses of ibuprofen. Results: We describe 9 previously healthy patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding after receiving weight-related doses of ibuprofen for fever.
