Does Tempalgin help with toothache and reviews about its use

Next you will learn:

• Does Tempalgin really help with toothache;
• Reviews of ordinary people about the use of this drug;
• How Tempalgin acts on the body and its side effects;
• And also what kind of drug has much stronger analogues.

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 tablets and sold in pharmacies without a prescription (over-the-counter leave is immediately explained by the fact that Tempalgin is significantly inferior in effectiveness to many other painkillers prescribed by prescription).

Well, we immediately note that Tempalgin is far from always saving from toothache and is not as effective as some other remedies that will be mentioned below.

In its properties and power of action Tempalgin resembles Analgin morally obsolete today (the latter, by the way, is prohibited 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 weak toothache, and acute pain, for example, with various pulpitis and periodontitis, only weakens a little - and this is well confirmed by numerous reviews.

Feedback

“Two months ago I had such a thing that you won’t wish the enemy. By evening, the tooth shot through, as if a needle had been inserted inside it, my legs began to give way. 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 is no effect at all. Analgin and Nurofen were still there, but they did not help either. And as luck would have it Saturday. I phoned the dentist on a personal mobile phone, and he can only accept it on Monday, and then inserted it between the recorded patients. And tormented until Monday, until the nerve was removed ...

Composition and principle of operation of Tempalgin

Tempalgin is sometimes prescribed for toothache and other types of pain for those patients in whom the pain syndrome is slightly pronounced. The instructions stipulate “moderate or mild pain syndrome”.

The composition of the drug includes two active ingredients:

1. Metamizole sodium is the same analgesic that is the basis of the drug Analgin;
2. Triacetonamine-4-toluenesulfonate (Tempidone) - a 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 really does reduce pain to some extent, but its anti-inflammatory properties are much less pronounced.

In parallel, triacetonamine-4-toluenesulfonate, when it enters the bloodstream, acts on the nervous system, providing a pronounced sedative, soothing effect. Incidentally, it was thanks to this compound that Tempalgin proved himself well in relieving toothache in impressionable people who have not so much toothache as they “wind up” themselves.

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

The anti-inflammatory properties of Tempalgin are very poorly expressed, and therefore it is pointless to hope that taking the drug will help remove, for example, a gum or cheek tumor next to a diseased tooth.

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

Feedback:

“For me, Tempalgin is a purely narrow-profile pain medication exclusively for home use. If you are ready to fall after taking the 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 at all an option, because no zipper will work out, you can easily fall asleep in an hour. It’s very relaxing. ”

On a note

The severity of the effect after applying Tempalgin (as, incidentally, when taking many other drugs) greatly depends on the individual characteristics of each person. Tempalgin helps someone even with a seemingly severe toothache, but for some he may not work at all. Therefore, you should be prepared that Tempalgin may have to be replaced with another remedy.

 

Dosage and proper use of the product

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

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

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

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

Feedback

“Tempalgin helps me with toothache very well. If it happens that I can’t get to the doctor as soon as a tooth is diseased, I drink one tablet of it and it’s enough for half a day. A couple of times it was such that it was necessary to suffer 2-3 days, then I went to Tempalgin. But I really want to sleep from him. ”

Children under 14 years old 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 hematopoiesis process and lead to the development of agranulocytosis. In acute form, this disease can be deadly, although with the correct use of Tempalgin it is extremely rare. However, in many countries of the world, preparations based on sodium metamizole are prohibited for use precisely for this reason.

On a note

Analgin, containing the same metamizole sodium as the 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 of taking Tempalgin are:

1. Leukopenia (lowering white blood cell count);
2. Headaches and dizziness;
3. Jumps in blood pressure;
4. Impaired renal function;
5. Allergies, including epidermal necrolysis and Quincke's edema;
6. Disorders of the liver.

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

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

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

In addition, for any diseases of the kidneys or liver, Tempalgin can be used only after appropriate medical advice.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 with which Tempalgin can be replaced

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

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

Such drugs as Nurofen, Ibuprofen, Burana and some others sold in pharmacies without a prescription are approximately equal in strength to Tempalgin.

Much stronger than Tempalgin are Nimesil powder, Ketorol, Ketanov and Ketorolac tablets - they help to quickly relieve even acute toothache. However, all these funds are sold in pharmacies only by prescription, so it is quite problematic to use them at home for toothache.

Feedback:

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

Alexey, Voronezh

In any case, Tempalgin or other painkillers should not be used as a substitute for a complete dental treatment. Such drugs are intended only to alleviate the condition of a person before a visit to the doctor, but not in order to avoid this visit. In addition, using any drug, you should carefully read the instructions for it, and ideally, get a doctor's consultation.

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