Abstract

A 15-kg weight gain developed in a patient during the third week of ibuprofen therapy. The edema disappeared with discontinuation of the drug regimen and did not reappear during a subsequent six-month observation period. It should be recognized that ibuprofen may be associated with salt and water retention in the same fashion as previously described with phenylbutazone and indomethacin.
