Adverse reactions
The most common adverse reactions observed with NSAIDs are those affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Peptic ulcers, perforations or bleeding, sometimes fatal, especially in elderly patients, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia), abdominal pain, melena, hematemesis may occur.
Ulcerative stomatitis, exacerbation of colitis and Crohn’s disease have been reported following use. Gastritis is less common. Gastrointestinal perforation has been reported rarely with ibuprofen.
Exacerbation of skin infections caused by infection (e.g. development of necrotizing fasciitis) has been described with concomitant use of NSAIDs. If there are any signs of infection or it worsens while using ibuprofen, the patient should consult a doctor immediately.

Application features
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding

Children
The drug Taffa® Classic should not be used in children under 12 years of age.
The ability to influence the reaction speed when driving or working with other mechanisms
No relevant studies have been conducted. However, it is known that ibuprofen can sometimes have side effects on the central nervous system, such as a reduction in reaction time. This should be taken into account when increased alertness is required, especially when driving or operating machinery. This is especially the case when taken with alcohol.
Overdose
Symptoms of toxicity have not usually been observed in children or adults at doses below 100 mg/kg body weight. However, supportive measures may be necessary in some cases. In children, symptoms of toxicity have been observed after doses of 400 mg/kg or more.
Symptoms. In most patients who have taken a significant amount of ibuprofen, symptoms develop within 4-6 hours. The most commonly reported symptoms of overdose are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness and lethargy. Central nervous system (CNS) side effects include headache, tinnitus, dizziness, convulsions and loss of consciousness. Nystagmus, metabolic acidosis, hypothermia, renal damage, gastrointestinal bleeding, coma, apnea and CNS and respiratory depression have been reported rarely. Cardiovascular toxicity, including hypotension, bradycardia and tachycardia, has also been reported. In the event of a significant overdose, renal failure and liver damage may develop. A significant overdose is usually well tolerated if no other drugs are taken.
Treatment. There is no specific antidote for ibuprofen overdose. Patients should be treated symptomatically if necessary. After ingestion of a potentially toxic amount, activated charcoal should be administered within one hour. If necessary, serum electrolyte balance should be corrected.
If the medication has already been absorbed, alkalizing agents should be given to help eliminate ibuprofen in the urine.
