Top 10 painkillers for toothache

The best med­i­cine to help relieve toothache is a time­ly vis­it to the den­tist, and stop­ping the symp­tom with painkillers is rec­om­mend­ed only as a tem­po­rary mea­sure.

Today, on the phar­ma­cy shelves you can find a lot of reme­dies to get rid of the dis­ease. Of course, no med­i­cine can elim­i­nate the cause of pain. In this case, only a den­tist can help, but it will be pos­si­ble to stop the tor­ment in a short time.

The drugs work in dif­fer­ent ways. Some relieve inflam­ma­tion, oth­ers relieve pain by block­ing the flow of rel­e­vant impuls­es to the brain. Giv­en the strength of the pain and the age of the patient, the phar­ma­cist will always sug­gest med­ica­tion options.

It has a pro­nounced anal­gesic effect, has an anti-inflam­ma­to­ry and mod­er­ate antipyret­ic effect. The mech­a­nism of action is asso­ci­at­ed with non-selec­tive inhi­bi­tion of the activ­i­ty of COX — COX‑1 and COX‑2, which cat­alyzes the for­ma­tion of prostaglandins from arachi­don­ic acid, which play an impor­tant role in the patho­gen­e­sis of inflam­ma­tion, pain and fever.

The drug does not affect opi­oid recep­tors, does not depress breath­ing, does not cause drug depen­dence, does not have a seda­tive and anx­i­olyt­ic effect.

9 Dexonal tab. p / o captivity. 25 mg #10

Dex­on­al tab. p / o cap­tiv­i­ty. 25 mg #10

Dexke­to­pro­fen trometa­mol, the active ingre­di­ent in Dex­on­al®, is a non-steroidal anti-inflam­ma­to­ry drug (NSAID) that has anal­gesic, anti-inflam­ma­to­ry and antipyret­ic effects. The mech­a­nism of action of dexke­to­pro­fen is based on the inhi­bi­tion of prostaglandin syn­the­sis at the lev­el of cyclooxy­ge­nas­es (COX‑1 and COX‑2).

The anal­gesic effect occurs 30 min­utes after tak­ing Dex­on­al® oral­ly, the dura­tion of the ther­a­peu­tic effect reach­es 4–6 hours.

8 Pentalgin tab. p / o captivity. #24

Pen­tal­gin tab. p / o cap­tiv­i­ty. #24

Anal­gesic (non-nar­cot­ic anal­gesic + non-steroidal anti-inflam­ma­to­ry drug + psy­chos­tim­u­lant + anti­spas­mod­ic + H1-his­t­a­mine recep­tor block­er).

Simul­ta­ne­ous use of the drug with oth­er drugs con­tain­ing parac­eta­mol and / or oth­er non-steroidal anti-inflam­ma­to­ry drugs, as well as with drugs to relieve the symp­toms of “cold”, flu and nasal con­ges­tion, should be avoid­ed.

7 Askofen

Askofen

One of the most reli­able drugs among sim­i­lar ones. A proven med­i­cine can elim­i­nate both aching and acute pain. It has a com­bined effect and has antipyret­ic and anal­gesic prop­er­ties. Askofen is pre­scribed for the com­plex ther­a­py of var­i­ous inflam­ma­to­ry process­es, fever, pain attacks of var­i­ous local­iza­tion, and oth­ers. Man­u­fac­tur­ers have devel­oped the com­po­si­tion cor­rect­ly so that the tablets do not cause addic­tion and neg­a­tive con­se­quences.

The sub­stances con­tained in the med­ica­tion work quick­ly and effi­cient­ly. Parac­eta­mol helps to reduce body tem­per­a­ture if nec­es­sary, and also has a mod­er­ate anal­gesic prop­er­ty. Caf­feine allows you to expand blood ves­sels, which helps to cope with a debil­i­tat­ing con­di­tion and for­get about dis­com­fort. Acetyl­sal­i­cylic acid will have an anti-inflam­ma­to­ry effect and stop the pro­gres­sion of patholo­gies. The impos­si­bil­i­ty of tak­ing pills dur­ing preg­nan­cy and lac­ta­tion upsets many buy­ers.

6 Ketans

Ketanov

The non-steroidal anti-inflam­ma­to­ry drug has earned a lot of lauda­to­ry com­ments from peo­ple who have repeat­ed­ly encoun­tered den­tal prob­lems. Ketanov is able to have a par­tic­u­lar­ly pow­er­ful anal­gesic effect. Thanks to its triple action, it helps to get rid of fever, inflam­ma­tion and pain. Often, the rem­e­dy is pre­scribed for acute dis­com­fort, which is not amenable to oth­er, more gen­tle drugs. Periph­er­al expo­sure brings results in a few min­utes and alle­vi­ates the patien­t’s con­di­tion for a long time.

Of the wide range of drugs, Ketanov is able to work almost the best. By inhibit­ing the unde­sir­able activ­i­ty of spe­cial enzymes, the drug stops the pro­duc­tion of inflam­ma­tion and pain mod­u­la­tors. The min­i­mum risk of side effects makes the tablets indis­pens­able and in demand among buy­ers. In addi­tion, in the process of tak­ing there is no addic­tion syn­drome. Con­traindi­ca­tion of use dur­ing preg­nan­cy and lac­ta­tion does not please many patients.

5 Dentol

Den­tol

An effec­tive fast-act­ing gel rec­om­mend­ed by most den­tists for sud­den pain. He active­ly fights the inflam­ma­to­ry process that has arisen in the gum tis­sue. Form­ing a pro­tec­tive film, the drug accel­er­ates the regen­er­a­tion of dam­aged areas. It should be applied 2–3 times a day, which will help in a short time to get rid of dis­com­fort. After a few min­utes, the gel begins to per­form an anal­gesic func­tion and alle­vi­ates the patien­t’s con­di­tion.

The active sub­stance that is part of the drug is ben­zo­caine. It has an anal­gesic effect on the mucous mem­branes, with­out harm­ing them in the form of irri­ta­tions. It is rec­om­mend­ed to use Den­tol for no more than a week. After that, you should still con­sult a den­tist for treat­ment. One of the best char­ac­ter­is­tics of the drug is the pos­si­bil­i­ty of use by young chil­dren dur­ing teething from 4 months. Buy­ers speak well of the drug and advise it to be pur­chased. Only in case of hyper­sen­si­tiv­i­ty to the com­po­nents of Den­tol, side effects may appear — swelling or itch­ing.

4 Nurofen

Nuro­fen

One of the best painkillers accord­ing to many experts. It is pre­scribed for both mild dis­com­fort and acute pain. The rapid action of the drug will allow you to instant­ly for­get about the debil­i­tat­ing con­di­tion and ensure the patien­t’s peace of mind for a cer­tain peri­od of time, before going to the den­tist. Release forms are dif­fer­ent: cap­sules, sup­pos­i­to­ries, tablets, syrups, gels and oint­ments. All vari­eties effec­tive­ly per­form their func­tions and alle­vi­ate the con­di­tion.

The main com­po­nent is ibupro­fen, which helps relieve pain of vary­ing inten­si­ty and stop the active process­es of inflam­ma­tion. In addi­tion, at a high tem­per­a­ture, which appears in con­nec­tion with unbear­able dis­com­fort, Nuro­fen is able to get rid of it. Relief occurs with­in 15 min­utes, and the patient begins to feel much bet­ter. This is con­firmed by numer­ous cus­tomer reviews, which are most­ly pos­i­tive and rec­om­menda­to­ry.

3 Tempalgin

Tem­pal­gin

A tool that many peo­ple know today. It is great for mod­er­ate pain relief. The drug is a non-nar­cot­ic anti-inflam­ma­to­ry agent. Its ver­sa­til­i­ty is unde­ni­able — it elim­i­nates fever and inflam­ma­tion. In addi­tion, 20 min­utes after tak­ing, the pain of any local­iza­tion sub­sides, which brings sig­nif­i­cant relief to patients for a long time (about 4 hours). It is rec­om­mend­ed to take with meals, drink­ing plen­ty of water. It is bet­ter to dis­cuss the dose with your doc­tor in order to avoid side effects.

Thanks to metami­zole sodi­um, which is part of the com­po­si­tion, the pro­duc­tion of prostaglandins is blocked. These sub­stances are respon­si­ble for the inten­si­ty of pain and inflam­ma­tion in the body. To help metami­zole, man­u­fac­tur­ers added tem­pi­done. It enhances the anal­gesic effect of the first com­po­nent. Cus­tomer reviews are dis­tin­guished by pos­i­tive char­ac­ter­is­tics about the effec­tive­ness of the drug. The only thing that patients attribute to the minus­es is a strong relax­ing effect of the gen­er­al con­di­tion after tak­ing it. There­fore, before vig­or­ous activ­i­ty, it is bet­ter not to take it.

2 Dolospa

Dolospa

One of the most pow­er­ful reme­dies for toothache. 10 min­utes after inges­tion, the tablets are absorbed into the blood­stream and begin to act. Com­bined Dolospa helps to get rid of a hat­ed and debil­i­tat­ing state almost in an instant. The severe nature of the pain is also amenable to the drug and soft­ens, so that the patient for­gets about the dis­com­fort for a long time. It is worth tak­ing tablets no more than 3 times a day, since they are not gen­tle on the gas­troin­testi­nal tract.

The com­po­si­tion of the prod­uct allows the pills to fight severe pain and relieve inflam­ma­tion. Thanks to the dicy­clover­ine con­tained in the drug, there is a block­ing of impuls­es that tend to the brain, and this pro­vides an anal­gesic result. The anal­gesic is one of the most pow­er­ful reme­dies. It is used for var­i­ous dis­eases, and it copes well with unbear­able pain. The drug has many con­traindi­ca­tions, there­fore, before tak­ing it, it is advis­able to con­sult a spe­cial­ist doc­tor.

1 Ibuprofen tab. 200 mg #20

The mech­a­nism of action is asso­ci­at­ed with the inhi­bi­tion of the activ­i­ty of COX, the main enzyme of the metab­o­lism of arachi­don­ic acid, which is a pre­cur­sor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the patho­gen­e­sis of inflam­ma­tion, pain and fever. The anal­gesic effect is due to both periph­er­al (indi­rect­ly, through the sup­pres­sion of prostaglandin syn­the­sis) and the cen­tral mech­a­nism (due to inhi­bi­tion of prostaglandin syn­the­sis in the cen­tral and periph­er­al ner­vous sys­tem). Sup­press­es platelet aggre­ga­tion.

When applied exter­nal­ly, it has an anti-inflam­ma­to­ry and anal­gesic effect. Reduces morn­ing stiff­ness, increas­es the range of motion in the joints.
