Along with the drug Ketanov and some other remedies for toothache, Ketorol is one of the most effective and effective. Largely due to its powerful analgesic effect, Ketorol quickly relieves even very severe toothache, and with careful use it is quite safe and does not cause severe side effects.
On a note
The effectiveness of analgesia in Ketorol is about the same as that of morphine, and higher than most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In its properties and potency, Ketorol is almost identical to Ketanov and Ketorolac - its analogues, containing the same active substance.
For 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 analgesic gel on sale. The tablet form is also preferred by those who, for one reason or another, need to buy the drug on their own and wait for a doctor's appointment.
Today, Ketorol is a prescription drug. Theoretically, nobody can buy these pills in a pharmacy just like that, of their own free will and 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 very much about acute pain.
Manufactured by Ketorol, an Indian company, Dr. Reddy’c Laboratories Ltd. Its cost in pharmacies is approximately 100 rubles for 20 tablets of 10 mg.
In general, reviews about this tool are quite positive, although there are rare cases of a complete lack of effect from taking the tablets.
Feedback
“Ketorol helps me very well from toothache, and personally I didn’t have any side effects from him, but after Ketanov I was very sick. Somehow even the doctor removed the nerve without anesthesia, I was just afraid to get an injection, because before that no one had injected me. I knew that such a thing would happen, and before taking it I drank a Ketorol pill. The doctor said so. And nothing, removed the nerve after arsenic, the canal was sealed. It was felt, of course, but not as much as if they would have done without anything. But living with Ketorol does not work out - this is a means for one, maximum two or three receptions. There it is written in the instructions that it should be used for no longer than 5 days and with acute, not chronic pain. ”

The composition of Ketorol and its effect
The principle of action of Ketorol is based on the ability of its main component - ketorolac - to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins and thereby have an anti-inflammatory effect. Prostaglandins in the body act as 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 proceed, but due to the absence of prostaglandins they are almost not felt - nerve irritation does not occur in the places where pathologies develop, pain does not occur.
This is exactly how Ketorol helps with toothache: in the place of irritation of the pulp or nerve endings, the agents responsible for the pain disappear in the gum, and the damage to tooth and periodontal tissues itself is asymptomatic. At the same time, Ketorol can relieve (and is used precisely in such cases) so severe pain that it can be very, very difficult to endure without pain medication.
A situation of regular anesthesia can be dangerous: while a person does not feel pain, he is in no hurry to treat a tooth, and with further painless development, the process (usually with such acute pain is pulpitis) can be complicated by extensive periodontitis, periostitis or even phlegmon. Here the whole responsibility lies with the patient himself - he must do everything possible to get an appointment with the dentist 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 in that it does not cause dependence and does not depress respiration, that is, for a generally healthy person, careful intake of such tablets is relatively safe.
Instructions for use of Ketorol in case of toothache
For toothache, Ketorol should be taken one tablet at a time. The effect manifests itself after 30-40 minutes, the maximum pain relief occurs after about an hour and a half.
During the action of one tablet, taking additional doses is pointless - this does not give an effect.

“There are different cases. For example, I have very sensitive teeth, even with a simple caries, with which they just put a filling, the pain is such that it's not like sleeping - I can’t think. I’m already used to it, I always have Ketorol or Ketorolac on my shelf, they really help out with toothache. And my dentist constantly writes me prescriptions so that there isn’t such that I need to make an appointment with her yesterday. But I agree, these pills are remedies for exceptional cases, although they help well. If your teeth hurt constantly, go to a normal clinic, where they will find the cause and treat it. And then there can be many from painkillers problems. ”

The duration of the drug is approximately 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 administration of tablets is 5 days. During this time, you can almost always find a way to get to the dentist.
Before you appoint Ketorol yourself, you should remember that such an appointment is taking responsibility for all possible side effects. Which, by the way, Ketorol has a lot.

“If you open the instructions for Ketorol, you’re not that from a toothache - even with a broken leg you don’t want to take it, although it helps. There are only side effects on the school notebook, there are even more contraindications. When it shoots in a tooth, it certainly doesn’t matter, but my gastroduodenitis worsened after I lived on these tablets two days before the dentist. And I was also told that they will be softer than Ketanov. So my advice to you: pricked in your tooth - run to the doctor as soon as possible. Ketorol is needed for those who believe in the sacred mantra "Perhaps, it will carry ...". "

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 taking it that it is not recommended to drive a car or perform work associated with controlling various mechanisms.
Of the digestive disorders after taking Ketorol, flatulence, a feeling of fullness of the stomach, and diarrhea are most common (in reviews, people often write about nausea, and even vomiting). Typically, these effects occur in people over 65 and those who suffer from chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Among the other side effects of Ketorol, it is sometimes noted:
- Headaches and dizziness;
- Skin rash;
- Swelling of the face and limbs;
- Sweating
- Allergic reactions - shortness of breath, rashes on the skin, in extremely rare cases - anaphylaxis.
Moreover, 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 with chronic abuse, damage to the gastrointestinal tract. If such signs appear, you should rinse the stomach with plenty of water, drink a few tablets of activated charcoal and stop taking the tablets.

“I drank from Ketorol toothache. Good pain medication, but nothing more. There is nothing special about him. Yes, it relieves pain, yes, it helps, relieves acute pain, but not completely and not for long. And keep in mind that you can’t drink it for more than 3-4 days, all kinds of nonsense will come in, such as irritation of the intestines, hematuria and other delights. So if you expect to walk with him for a week and the tooth just stops hurting, you have to upset you. It will not stop. "

Contraindications: is it possible to take Ketorol in children, pregnant and lactating mothers?
Ketorol can definitely not be taken in several cases:
- During pregnancy and lactation;
- Children and adolescents under 16 years old;
- With renal, hepatic or heart failure;
- After coronary artery bypass surgery;
- With hemophilia;
- With increased sensitivity to Ketorolac;
- With a stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
Also, Ketorol should not be taken while the patient has bronchial asthma, nasal polyposis and intolerance to acetylsalicylic acid.
In any case, it is worth remembering that taking Ketorol tablets to relieve acute toothache is a means of emergency one-time help. They should be taken only if it does not work out for the dentist within, for example, a day, and the toothache needs to be reassured for a short while.
If it is impossible to buy Ketorol, it can be replaced with Ketanov or Ketorolac tablets, and if it is impossible to buy any of these drugs - with Nimesil or Dolak.

I take Ketorol almost 2 weeks after tooth treatment, 2 times a day. I do not want to remove the nerve. Super painkillers! I haven’t met anything better. So far no side at all. I am delighted with this drug.
It doesn’t help at all, such nonsense, the pain was horror, I drank three tablets of ketorol - it didn’t even help a little. Here is a good ibuklin!
It helps for a while and not quite, the pain is present. At the moment I have alveolitis, tomorrow for dressing, the pain is terrible. Well, I drank about an hour ago. Calmed down a bit, how to sleep? What to do? I do not know.
Toothache is terrible! The gums are swollen, it hurts! A tooth without a nerve, more precisely, one root. The main seal flew off, the inner sore. I drank analgin for more than a day - about 20 minutes, and again the pain. Ketorol bought and healed)) Helped for half an hour. I am satisfied! It was impossible to touch the tooth. Now I chew them, as a radical.But I’ll go to the dentist on Monday.
For all my 25 years, this is my first time that a tooth hurts. My teeth are beautiful, I often look after, but in any case, I still treated 1 tooth. There is no time to see a doctor yet. If it helps, then I will accept!
From toothache practically did not help. The pain was slightly dulled for 2 hours. After 2 hours I drank a second tablet, it is useless. Novigan helped.
But it helped me a lot.
Very good pills! A wisdom tooth was removed, the hole was left without a clot. The pain was a guard. Ketorol saved me))
It helps me, but only 2 tablets. I drink 4 tablets a day. Pain in the stomach began, with breathing problems. But anesthetizes very well)
For me, Ketorol is a lifesaver. Always help. With teeth, with head, pain after a fracture - no side effects. Bow to the author and producers.
He does not help at all! Only wasted money.
Good pills. I drank about 40 minutes ago - the pain went away completely. It’s night in the yard, and I couldn’t sleep due to toothache. All day the past tooth ached, it was hard to breathe from this pain, exhausting, and there was ache in the whole head. Analgin usually helps, but this time it only slightly eased the pain. Thank God that Ketorol is in the medicine cabinet - tablets are effective and really help.
This ketorol does not help at all! He took the pill, waited an hour and a half - no effect, only a little and for a short while. And the description is incomprehensible - it removes pain, but it does not affect the nerves (CNS). Some crap. It shoots in the ears, a vein pulsates at the temple, the pressure is there - it comes to pain.
Before that, I had normal and nurofen express and nurofen express, pentalgin (a couple of pieces remained). Still some round big green pills - everything worked fine, and the vein did not pulsate.
I also remember that I had been drinking a ketorol tablet for a long time. I remembered that it sucks helped. But all the other pills are over, I did not have time to buy. There was little hope for ketorol - and not in vain ... As a result, I suffered all night, put water in the freezer (several mugs at once) and filled with water the side where the tooth is sick. A terrible sharp pain for a few seconds inside the tooth that you already moan, squeeze your hands. Then he lets go completely for a short while - and so on all night. As soon as the water warmed up, he swallowed and scored the cold again, and a sharp pain ...
Let this tablet pack of ketorol be at home, but the advertised means really helped, and not this crap, whose abilities equate as much as morphine.
