Tris Pharma Inc. has issued a nationwide recall for three lots of infants' ibuprofen concentrated oral suspension.

Tris Pharma Inc. recalled the infants' ibuprofen Wednesday due to higher levels of ibuprofen found in the product.

The recall states that some infants who may be more susceptible to a higher potency level of drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal (kidney) injury.

Symptoms of high exposure to ibuprofen in infants include nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, or more rarely, diarrhea. Tinnitus, headache and gastrointestinal bleeding are also possible adverse effects.

The recalled infants' ibuprofen was packaged in 0.5 ounce bottles sold at Walmart, CVS and Family Dollar nationwide.

Tris Pharma Inc. hasn't received any reports or illness or injury due to the product that is involved in the recall.

Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.
