Yes...it can happen................very rarely.........with any drug.

ibuprofen rarely causes stevens johnson syndrome where as you can seee your skin comes off

more usually associated with sulphonamides

put the report into the drawer labelled: 'look mum I have grown another head !' and close it ( the drawer I mean )

will my baby get this if I give him Ibuprofen ? no Ibuprofen is safe

Poor lad. That's terrible. I wonder if sueing is the right thing to do, though? It's so rare that I'm not sure a doctor should be expected to know it could turn so serious. I hope the family do get something anyway.

Surely impossible to sue???

This stuff helped our little boy's symptoms last week, would I use it again...... Probably.
