I just want to add something personal to this. I almost died one day from a alergic reaction to ibuprofen after taking motrin. I was rushed to the hospital in severe itching, heated body and shortness of breath. Several years prior I had awaken with a little pain and took ibuprofen and 30 minutes later I was having convultions and fainted. Ambulance carried me to the ER and doctors called my family doctor and told them "we're losing her". I didnt connect ibuprofen to this episode because I was diagnosed with sepsis. Watch motrin and beware of this med.

Motrin and Robitussin - D O N O T M I X
Very important .. pass it on.. For all parents, grandparents and care providers. This is from a friend who's sister who is a teacher with the Red Oak School district This was sent to us from a nurse in our district..... thought I'd pass along just as an FYI.
Madison , age 8, passed away just a few days ago. We've been asked to pass this on. Doctors told her family that there have been quite a few children Madison 's age that have died recently the same way that she did The only common link between them was that they were given Motrin (ibuprofen) and Robitussin together, this caused a heart attack.
They believe this is what happened to them. They told her to alert everyone to this. "Do not give children both of these medicines together. " You can give them one or the other but not both".
When Madison collapsed she suffered a heart attack and they were able to revive her but the loss of oxygen damaged her brain and she was put on the respirator. After this she had four strokes before she died after being taken off the respirator. Please pass this on!
