Benzydamine/Tantum Rosa is a drug for external use. It is typically available in Europe, without the need of a medical prescription, for the treatment of vaginal inflammatory processes. Between December 2009 and January 2010, the Milan and Pavia (I) Poison Centres have identified some 50 cases of inappropriate benzydamine ingestion. Reasons for this misuse have been attributed to an allegedly misleading television advert. However, the recreational misuse of benzydamine is a well-known phenomenon in Brazil and in some EU countries as well, notably in Poland and Romania. It is here suggested that the recent increase in benzydamine misuse reports in Italy may well be associated with a parallel increase in level of online information regarding the molecule potential for misuse. According to the online reports, benzydamine is typically taken at a dosage of 1-4 sachets, dissolved in water and ingested orally. Its intake may be associated with hallucinations (mostly visual), sleeping disorders and euphoria. Only future, prospective, studies will confirm and better describe the benzydamine misuse potential.
苄达明/坦通蔷薇是一种外用药物。在欧洲，它通常无需医生处方即可获得，用于治疗阴道炎症。2009年12月至2010年1月期间，米兰和帕维亚（意大利）中毒控制中心确认了约50例不当摄入苄达明的病例。这种误用的原因被归咎于一则据称具有误导性的电视广告。然而，苄达明的娱乐性误用在巴西以及一些欧盟国家也是一个众所周知的现象，尤其是在波兰和罗马尼亚。这里有人指出，意大利近期苄达明误用报告的增加很可能与关于该分子误用可能性的在线信息水平的同步上升有关。根据在线报告，苄达明通常以1 - 4包的剂量服用，溶于水后口服。其摄入可能会导致幻觉（主要是视觉方面）、睡眠障碍和欣快感。只有未来的前瞻性研究才能证实并更好地描述苄达明的误用可能性。
