Undesirable effects

The table below lists the undesirable effects classified by system organ class according to MedDRA. The undesirable effects are listed using the following frequency scales: very common (>1/10); common (>1/100, <1/10); uncommon (>1/1,000, <1/100); rare (>1/10,000, <1/1,000); very rare (<1/10,000); not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data).

Overdose

Intoxication is expected only in case of accidental ingestion of large quantities of benzydamine (>300 mg). The symptoms associated with overdose by ingestion of benzydamine are mainly gastrointestinal and central nervous system-related. The most frequent gastrointestinal symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and esophageal irritation. Central nervous system symptoms include dizziness, hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, and irritability. Symptoms of overdose in children, such as excitation, convulsions, sweating, ataxia, tremor, and vomiting, have been reported very rarely after oral administration of benzydamine at a dosage approximately 100 times that of the 3 mg lozenge. In cases of acute overdose, only symptomatic treatment is possible; patients should be closely monitored and receive supportive treatment. Adequate hydration should be maintained.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

There are no data on the use of benzydamine during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The excretion of the product in breast milk has not been studied. Animal studies on the effects on pregnancy and lactation are insufficient (see section 5.3), and therefore the potential risk for humans cannot be assessed. Tantum Verde should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Storage

This medicine does not require any special storage conditions.
