Visual disturbances associated with over-the-counter ibuprofen in three patients.
We report three cases of visual disturbances associated with use of over-the-counter (OTC) ibuprofen. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such problems associated with OTC ibuprofen. None of these patients included ibuprofen as part of their initial drug histories. All patients particularly younger women with headaches and visual disturbances should be questioned specifically with regard to OTC drugs.
