Along with the drug Ketanov and some other means of toothache, Ketorol is one of the most effective and effective. In many respects, due to its powerful analgesic effect, Ketorol quickly relieves even a very strong toothache, and with careful use it is safe enough and does not cause serious side effects.
On a note
The effectiveness of anesthesia for Ketorol is about the same as that of morphine, and higher than that of most other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. By its properties and strength of action, Ketorol is almost identical to Ketanov and Ketorolac - its counterparts containing the same active ingredient.
From toothache, dentists most often prescribe Ketorol in the form of tablets to their patients, although there is also a solution for intramuscular administration and a special anesthetic gel on the market.The tablet form is also preferred by those who, for one reason or another, need to buy the drug themselves and wait for a doctor's appointment.
Today Ketorol is a prescription drug. Theoretically, no one can buy these pills at a pharmacy just by choice, without a doctor's prescription. Although in fact the situation in this regard is often not so strict: many pharmacies still sell Ketorol even without a prescription, especially to customers who complain strongly about acute pain.
Produced by Ketorol, an Indian company, Dr. Reddi Lab Laboratories Ltd. Its cost in pharmacies is about 100 rubles for 20 tablets of 10 mg.
In general, reviews of this tool are quite positive, although there are rare cases of complete lack of effect from taking pills.
Feedback
“Ketorol helps me very well from a toothache, and personally I don’t have any side effects at all, but after Ketanov I was terribly sick. Somehow, even the doctor removed my nerve without anesthesia, I was just afraid to make an injection, because before that no one had pricked anything to me. I knew that this would be the case, and before taking it I drank a tablet of Ketorol. The doctor said so.And nothing, removed the nerve after arsenic, the channel was sealed. It was felt, of course, but not as much as if they would have done anything without anything. But living with Ketorol will not work - this is a means for one, maximum two or three receptions. There it is written in the instructions that it should be applied for no longer than 5 days and for acute, not chronic pain. ”

The composition of Ketorol and its effect
The principle of Ketorol is based on the ability of its main component, Ketorolac, to suppress the synthesis of prostaglandins and thereby have an anti-inflammatory effect. The prostaglandins in the body play the role of initiators of inflammation and the occurrence of pain in places of tissue damage, suppuration and other pathological processes. When using Ketorol, the existing pathological processes will continue to occur, but due to the absence of prostaglandins they almost do not make themselves known - irritation of the nerves does not occur in the places of development of pathologies, pain does not occur.
This is how Ketorol helps with toothache: at the site of irritation of the pulp or nerve endings, the agents responsible for the pain disappear from the gum, and the very damage to the tissues of the tooth and periodontal is asymptomatic. At the same time, Ketorol can relieve (and is used precisely in such cases) so much pain that it can be very difficult to endure without anesthetic.
The situation of regular pain relief can be dangerous: until a person feels pain, he is not in a hurry to treat the tooth, and with further painless development, the process (usually with such acute pain, this pulpitis) can be complicated by extensive periodontitis, periostitis or even phlegmon. Here the responsibility lies with the patient - he must do everything possible to get to the dentist’s appointment as quickly as possible.
Ketorol helps to wait for a visit to the doctor, but not to avoid such a visit at all!
On a note
The active ingredient of the drug (Ketorolac) is good because it does not cause dependence and does not depress respiration, that is, for a generally healthy person, careful taking of such tablets is relatively safe.
Instructions for use Ketorola in case of toothache
For toothache, Ketorol should be taken one tablet at a time.The effect appears after 30-40 minutes, maximum anesthesia occurs in about an hour and a half.
During the action of one pill to take additional doses is meaningless - it does not give effect.

“Cases are different. I, for example, have very sensitive teeth, even with simple caries, with which they simply put a filling, the pain is such that it is not like sleeping - I cannot think. I have already got used to it, I always have Ketorol or Ketorolac on the shelf, they help me with toothache. And my dentist constantly writes me prescriptions so that there is no such thing that I have to sign up for her yesterday. But I agree, these pills are a means for exceptional cases, although they help well. If your teeth hurt all the time, go to a normal clinic, where they will find the cause and cure it. And then there may be a lot of pain problems. ”

The duration of the drug is about 4-5 hours. If after this period the pain resumes, you can take another pill. The maximum per day an adult is allowed to take no more than 4 tablets.
The maximum duration of continuous taking pills is 5 days.During this time, you can almost always find a way to get to the dentist.
Before you self-assign yourself Ketorol, you should remember that such an appointment is to take responsibility for all possible side effects. Which, by the way, Ketorol has a lot.

“If you open the instructions for Ketorol, you don’t like toothache - even if you have a broken leg, you don’t want to take it, even though it helps. There are only side effects on the school notebook, contraindications - even more. When it shoots in a tooth, it certainly doesn’t matter, but my gastroduodenitis worsened after two days before the dentist lived on these pills. And they also told me that they would be more soft than Ketanov. So my advice to you: stabbed in the tooth - run to the doctor as soon as possible. Ketorol is necessary for those who believe in the sacred mantra "Perhaps, blow it over ..." ”.

Side effects
The main and most frequent consequences when taking Ketorol are drowsiness and digestive disorders. It is because of the sedative effect of Ketorol after it is taken that it is not recommended to drive a car or perform work related to the control of various mechanisms.
Of the digestive disorders after taking Ketorol, meteorism, feeling of fullness in the stomach, and diarrhea are the most common (in response, people also often write about nausea, and even vomiting). Usually these effects occur in people over 65 and those who suffer from chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Other side effects of Ketorol are sometimes noted:
- Headaches and dizziness;
- Skin rash;
- Swelling of the face and limbs;
- Sweating;
- Allergic reactions - difficulty breathing, rashes on the skin, in extremely rare cases - anaphylaxis.
In this case, the probability of such a reaction to a certain extent depends on the amount of the drug taken and the duration of its continuous use.
With an overdose of Ketorol, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting usually occur, and in case of chronic abuse, the gastrointestinal tract is affected. If such signs appear, wash the stomach with plenty of water, drink a few tablets of activated carbon and stop taking the tablets.

“I was drinking toothache Ketorol. Good painkiller, but no more. There is nothing special about it.Yes, it relieves, yes, it helps; it removes a sharp pain, but not completely and for a short while. And keep in mind that it is impossible to drink it for more than 3-4 days, any kind of nonsense will come on like irritation of the intestines, hematuria and other delights. So if you expect that you will walk with him for a week and the tooth will simply stop hurting, you will have to be upset. Will not stop.

- During pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Children and teenagers under 16;
- In renal, hepatic, or heart failure;

- Hemophilia;
- With increased sensitivity to Ketorolac;

I accept Ketorol almost 2 weeks after tooth treatment, 2 times a day. I do not want to remove the nerve. Anesthetizing super! Nothing better has not yet met. So far no side at all. I am delighted with this drug.
It does not help at all, such nonsense, the pain was terrifying, I took three tablets of Ketorol - even a little did not help. Here ibuklin good!
It helps for a while and not quite, the pain is present. At the moment I have alveolitis, tomorrow for dressing, terrible pain. Well, I drank an hour ago. A little calmed down, how to sleep? What to do? I do not know.
Toothache is terrible! Gums swollen, sore! A tooth without a nerve, more precisely, the roots alone. The main seal has flown away, the internal pain. More than a day saw analgin - 20 minutes, and again the pain. Bought Ketorol and healed)) Helped for half an hour. I'm happy! It was impossible to touch the tooth. Now I chew them, as the root. But I will go to the dentist on Monday.
For all my 25 years I have this first case, so that the tooth ached. My teeth are beautiful, I often take care of it, but in any case I treated one tooth. While there is no time to go to the doctor. If it helps, then I will accept!
From a toothache practically did not help. Slightly dull the pain for 2 hours. After 2 hours, drank the second pill, it is useless. Helped Novigan.
But it really helped me.
Very good pills! I have a wisdom tooth removed, the hole was left without a clot. The pain was - guard. Ketorol saved me))
It helps me, but only 2 tablets. I drink 4 pills a day. Stomach pain, breathing problems. But pain relieves very well)
For me, ketorol is a magic wand. Always help. That the teeth, that head, the pain after the fracture - no side effects. Bow to the author and manufacturers.
It does not help at all! Only in vain money spent.
