    Author: Dutch MJ.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 2008 Jan 07; 188(1):56-7. PubMed ID: 18205567.
    Abstract:
    Over a 6-month period, two patients presented to a community hospital emergency department with perforated gastric ulcers as the result of recreational misuse of over-the-counter ibuprofen-codeine preparations. Misuse of these medications appears to be an emerging cause of significant morbidity in patients with codeine addiction.
