Ibuprofen (Nurofen) Warning
Lee Pearce, a photographer who has macular degeneration, appeared on ABCTV's The 7.30 Report last night to warn others about the possible effects of ibuprofen in people who have wet MD. Mr Pearce experienced bleeding in both eyes two days after taking an ibuprofen-based drug. His case was used to illustrate why some professionals believe ibuprofen, currently available in Australian supermarkets and sold under the names Nurofen, Actfree and Advil, should only be available in pharmacies. See '?Wonder drug? side effects prompt calls for restrictions' (8 February 2006) for details.
