The maker of several brands of infant ibuprofen is expanding its voluntary recall, due to concerns that concentrations of the medications may be higher than they should be.

Tris Pharma manufactures the recalled drugs for Walmart, CVS, and Family Dollar stores.

Infants already susceptible to the adverse effects of ibuprofen may be at a slightly higher risk if they receive medication from an impacted bottle. There is a remote probability that infants, who may be more susceptible to a higher potency level of drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal injury.
