Oral Ibuprofen Liquid
Near Approval
According to a recent issue of
Pharmacist’s Letter, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration is getting
close to approving ibuprofen oral
suspension for over-the-counter
(OTC) use. According to the re­
port, the new product (which may
be called Children's Motrin) will
be the first new OTC pain medi­
cine for children since Children's
Tylenol was approved over 30 years
ago.
It is expected that Children’s
Motrin will be available in doses
that are lower than those recom­
mended for the prescription ver­
sion of the drug. The product will
be limited for the relief of pain and
fever for up to three days use. This
provision is to prevent drug use for
long periods of time when other
more serious problems may be
present. According to the report in
Pharm acist’s Letter, ibuprofen
liquid should not be used if the
child has been vomiting or if diar­
rhea is present.
The “Boston Fever Study” in­
dicates that occasional use of
ibuprofen in children is about as
safe as using acetaminophen. There
is no significant risk of gastroin­
testinal bleeding, kidney failure, or
Reye’s Syndrome. A possible ad­
vantage over acetaminophen is that
ibuprofen is longer acting (requires
less frequent d osin g). A lso,
ibuprofen may work better in chil­
dren who have high fevers (over
102.5 F).
Burley Funeral Chapel in Oak
Harbor was in charge of

A story in the July 26 issue of

"It almost felt like East vs. West
and the East w on," said coach
Charity McElligott.

selected to coach the all-star
game held Saturday, July 15..

C A R D OF T H A N K S
I owe my heartfelt thanks to
the staff and crew, at Pioneer
Memorial Hospital and Nurs­
ing Home. I believe in my heart
that it was just as hard on all
of you as it was for my family
and I to lose dad. He touched
a lot of lives during his residen­
cy at the Nursing Home and
made lots of friends that will
not be forgotten.
We citizens of Morrow Coun­
ty are so very lucky to not only
have a great hospital but we are
truly blessed to have the per­
sonnel inside this hospital that
makes everything work. They
are the heart and soul of
Pioneer Memorial.
Thank you, Dr. Jeanne. You
were not only there for dad but
for me too, during some very
rough times. You are a very
special person. And I thank
you, Pat. Again, as residents of
Morrow County we are very
fortunate to have Pat among
us. He helps us get through a
very difficult time that we all
must face. His professionalism,
care and concern are very much
appreciated.
My family and I want to
thank all for the cards, phone
calls and flowers. Grace, thank
you for the beautiful words.
And thank you, Melanie, for
the wonderful poem. And
please know that he's up there
singing to Irene. He doesn't
have to look for her anymore.
He's home.
