To the Editor: In their recent article,1 Balit et al concluded "restriction of paracetamol-containing products may inadvertently increase poisoning with potentially more toxic agents". As manufacturers of one brand of ibuprofen tablets and the only brand of ibuprofen suspension in Australia, we would like to comment on the article and its conclusion.
