Does Tempalgin Help Toothache and Feedback on Its Use?

Next you will find out:

• Does Tempalgin really help with toothache?
• Reviews of ordinary people on the use of this drug;
• How Tempalgin works on the body and its side effects;
• And also what the drug has a much stronger counterparts.

Tempalgin is an example of one of the rather popular painkillers that people often try to use to relieve toothache. It is produced in the form of pills and is sold in pharmacies without a prescription (over-the-counter leave immediately explains the fact that Tempalgin is noticeably inferior in effectiveness to many other painkillers prescribed by a doctor).

Well, we note right away that Tempalgin does not always save from toothache and is not as effective as some other tools that will be mentioned below.

By its properties and strength of action Tempalgin quite strongly resembles the obsolete Today Analgin (the latter, by the way, is banned for use in many countries of the world, but for some reason not in Russia). As practice shows, Tempalgin allows you to completely get rid of only a weak toothache, and acute pain, for example, with various pulpitis and periodontitis, only slightly weakens - and this is well confirmed by numerous reviews.

Feedback

“Two months ago I had such that you would not wish the enemy. By evening, the tooth was shot, as if a needle had been inserted inside it, my legs began to weaken. Previously, he sometimes ached with me, but not much, but here it became impossible to endure at all. Usually, I saved Tempalgin from any pain, but there was no effect at all. Analgin and Nurofen were still, but also did not help. And as luck would have Saturday. Phoned to the dentist on a personal mobile, and he can only take on Monday, and then put in between the recorded patients. So I suffered until Monday, until the nerves were removed ... "

The composition and principle of Tempalgin

Tempalgin is sometimes prescribed from dental and other types of pain to those patients in whom the pain syndrome is not very pronounced.The instructions and stipulates - "moderately or weakly expressed pain syndrome."

The drug contains two active ingredients:

1. Metamizole sodium is the same analgesic that is the basis of the drug Analgin;
2. Triacetonamine-4-toluensulfonate (Tempidone) - sedative, tranquilizer.

The principle of action of metamizole sodium is that it blocks the formation of prostaglandins - substances responsible for the initiation of inflammatory processes in the body and the development of pain. In general, this substance does reduce pain to some extent, but its anti-inflammatory properties are much weaker.

In parallel, triacetonamine-4-toluene sulfonate, when released into the blood, acts on the nervous system, providing a pronounced sedative, sedative effect. Incidentally, it is precisely because of this compound that Tempalgin has proven himself in relieving toothache in impressionable people who have not so much a tooth ache as they “wind” themselves.

According to studies, triacetonamine-4-toluenesulfonate enhances the analgesic effect of metamizole sodium by about 2-3 times.

Anti-inflammatory properties of Tempalgin are very weak, and therefore it is meaningless to hope that taking the drug will help remove, for example, a gum or cheek tumor next to a bad tooth.

Perhaps the main charm of Tempalgin - high speed of its action. Anesthesia with its use comes after 15-20 minutes, and lasts about 4-5 hours, and the soothing effect is even longer - up to 6-7 hours.

Feedback:

“For me, Tempalgin is a highly specialized anesthetic exclusively for home use. If you are ready to fail after taking a pill under a warm blanket, watching movies, and so at least half a day - this is your option. But if there is an active day ahead and you need to be a zinger, then this is not an option at all, because no zinger can make it, you can easily fall asleep in an hour. Very relaxing.

On a note

The severity of the effect after the use of Tempalgin (as, indeed, when taking many other drugs) strongly depends on the individual characteristics of each person. Someone Tempalgin helps even with seemingly strong enough toothache, and it may not work at all.Therefore, you should be prepared that, perhaps Tempalgin will have to be replaced by another means.

 

Dosage and proper use of funds

According to the instructions, Tempalgin is prescribed for admission during or after a meal, 1 tablet up to 3 times a day, depending on the strength of the pain. The tablets are quite large, but thanks to the smooth coating they can be swallowed without effort. They are equally effective in chewing and without it.

If the pain does not ease or quickly reappears, then a slight increase in the frequency of the drug is possible. For example, you can drink two Tempalgin tablets at once, or you can take it 4-5 times a day. However, the maximum amount of the drug should not exceed 6 tablets per day and 2 tablets at a time.

It is important to understand that if Tempalgin does not help with a toothache or the effect of its use is different from the desired one, then it is pointless to increase the number of tablets drunk per miracle. It is much more effective and safer to take another drug.

Tempalgin should not be taken for toothache longer than 5 days in a row.

Feedback

“Tempalgin helps me with toothache very well.If it happens that I cannot get to the doctor right away, as soon as my tooth aches, then I take one pill and I have enough for half a day. A couple of times it was such that you had to suffer for 2-3 days, then traveled to Tempalgin. But I really want to sleep from him. ”

Children under 14 are not allowed to take Tempalgin in any quantities.

 

Contraindications and side effects of the drug

Perhaps the main and most dangerous possible side effect from the use of Tempalgin is the ability to disrupt the blood formation process and lead to the development of agranulocytosis. In acute form, this disease can be deadly, although with the correct use of Tempalgin it occurs extremely rarely. However, in many countries of the world, Metamizole-based preparations are prohibited for use for this very reason.

On a note

Analgin, containing the same metamizole sodium as an active substance, can also cause agranulocytosis and is also banned in many civilized countries of the world. However, there is a scientifically based point of view, according to which the danger of this substance is greatly overestimated.

Other possible side effects from taking Tempalgin are:

1. Leukopenia (decrease in the level of leukocytes in the blood);
2. Headaches and dizziness;
3. Jumps in blood pressure;
4. Renal impairment;
5. Allergy, including epidermal necrolysis and angioedema;
6. Disorders of the liver.

For these reasons, and also because of the possible toxic effects on the fetus and the newborn baby, Tempalgin is completely contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

You can not remove the toothache Tempalgin in cases where a person has one of the following diseases:

1. Renal failure;
2. Liver failure;
3. Hypotension;
4. Hematopoiesis disorders;
5. Alcoholism.

In addition, for any diseases of the kidneys or liver, Tempalgin can be used only after the appropriate conclusion of a doctor. Contraindication to its reception, although not absolute, is also bronchial asthma. In these cases, the drug is better to replace one of the analogues.

 

Analogs that can be replaced with Tempalgin

It may seem strange, but Tempalgin is very close to the usual analgesic effect of aspirin, although it is also contraindicated for children under 15 years of age, and only in some cases it is prescribed for kidney diseases. Aspirin also relieves only mild or moderate pain, but, due to a completely different active substance, can give results in cases where Tempalgin does not work at all.

As for Analgin - as already mentioned above, this drug contains the same active ingredient as Tempalgin, and therefore its effectiveness from toothache will be quite comparable.

Approximately equal in strength Tempalginu such means as Nurofen, Ibuprofen, Burana and some other, dispensed in pharmacies without a prescription.

Far more powerful than Tempalgin are Nimesil powder, Ketorol, Ketanov and Ketorolac tablets - they help to quickly relieve even a sharp toothache. However, all these tools are sold in pharmacies only with a doctor’s prescription, so it can be quite problematic to use them at home against toothache.

Feedback:

“The real problem started later, on the sixth day of the trip.Just imagine, Polar Ural in winter, more than 80 km to the nearest village, the whole group is confidently following the route, I also have enough strength. But from a toothache literally you can neither eat nor sleep. Tempalgin tried to suppress the pain, but does not help, Ketanova for the whole group of 10 tablets, and then in extreme cases, if someone breaks something. Plus Tempalgin turns into an amoeba, at the beginning of the day if you drink it, then you go skiing like in a dream. Until the end of the campaign week. And no way out! Though you hang on the nearest pine! I thought that I would not live to the end of the campaign, but somehow I had had a tooth for two days and had a little pain eased. Already when I went to the Polar I did not feel it at all, I even decided that I would reach the house. Not reached. In Labytnangi, while everyone was walking around the city, I sat at the dentist and treated my tooth. ”

In any case, you can not use Tempalgin or other pain-relieving pills as a substitute for full-fledged dental treatment. Such drugs are intended only to alleviate the condition of the person before the visit to the doctor, but not to avoid this visit. In addition, using any drug, you should carefully read the instructions for it, and ideally - get the advice of a doctor.

Be prudent and treat your teeth on time - then you hardly need to suffer from toothache.
