The first remedy for getting rid of painful toothache that comes to mind is medications. But is this always the best remedy? For different people differently. Depends on many reasons - pain intensity, situation, condition general health patient, age. Unfortunately, there is no one, universal, ideal cure for toothache. Or rather, it exists, but it is not magic pill and a visit to the dentist. It will definitely relieve toothache, although sometimes only in the long term, and at the time of treatment it will make it even more painful. This means you can’t do without pain relief. And if a visit to the dentist is postponed for some reason, and tooth pain interferes with normal life, you should use the pain relief remedy that will be best for you.
Effective and inexpensive
For some reason, in all ratings and descriptions of remedies that help with toothache, it is customary to start with the most powerful ones. Almost morphine is offered to patients to take on some “medical” sites. The drug is, of course, good, but not very suitable for dental treatment. Therefore, narcotic painkillers will not be considered here. You can find the best medicine among the usual ones pharmaceutical drugs, which are easy to buy freely, without a prescription, inexpensively, and which should be contained in every first aid kit.
Important! When choosing a drug for pain, be sure to take into account whether you have chronic or acute diseases, a list of contraindications, follow the dosage and monitor side effects.
Table. Painkillers by group
| Group | Description |
|---|---|
| They contain one active ingredient that has an analgesic effect. Analgin belongs to this group. |
| They contain several active ingredients, each complementing the others. A prominent representative is Ibuklin. |
| The only drugs that are stronger in effect are opioid drugs that contain narcotics. This includes Ketorolac, Ibuprofen and others. |
| They have an antispasmodic and pain-reducing effect. Everyone knows No-shpa. |
| Stop production of hydrochloric acid and protect the stomach from damage. The inhibitor Celecoxib was the first to be registered in Russia. |
| They have high analgesic activity. The group includes Methadone, Promedol and others. |
| Anticonvulsants that indirectly relieve pain, such as Pregabalin. |
| Analgesics with a vasodilator effect. |
For the relief of toothache, the first four groups are of interest. The effectiveness of the drugs depends on the nature and cause of the pain.
A famous representative of pyrazolones, the progenitor of all analgesics and the most popular painkiller of our time. It works due to the presence of sodium in the composition of metamizole.
- Gives an analgesic effect.
- Relieves minor fever.
- Eliminates inflammation.
It has gained fame as a medicine that helps with many types of pain, including dental pain. But there is one “but” in taking this drug - it is not safe. If you often use metamizole sodium, your blood picture changes for the worse. Therefore, this drug, which also relieves not the most severe, but only moderate toothache, is best taken rarely, and in no case systematically.
By the way. Baralgin contains the same active ingredient as Analgin. Therefore, all the features of administration and contraindications are the same.
Analgin’s “relative” is Analgin-quinine. It contains two active ingredients; in addition to metamizole sodium, the medicine contains quinine. It is most often used for severe fever, but it is also suitable for relieving toothache, especially those of an infectious-inflammatory nature.
Baralgetas and Spazmalgon
These two drugs are also pyrazolones. Popular combined analgesic-antispasmodic drugs with identical composition. They contain the same metamizole sodium in combination with pitofenone and fenpivirinium bromide.
- Metamizole sodium relieves pain.
- Pitophenone relaxes smooth muscles.
- Fenpivirinium bromide softens smooth muscles.
This combination has been found to be very successful in relieving many types of pain. It can be used by both adults and children, including infants. Also, the drugs are not prohibited from being taken during pregnancy at all stages. The drugs effectively relieve carious toothache and chronic inflammation.
By the way. Renalgan is an analogue of these drugs produced in Ukraine. Their action and dosage regimens, effectiveness and indications are identical.
Pyrazolone, popular since the times Soviet Union. In addition to metamizole sodium, it contains triacetonamine. What does this component provide? Reduces agitation and tension that occurs along with pain. In other words, in addition to relieving pain, Tempalgin also calms.
The analogue Tempanginol does the same thing. The medicines are good, they are famous for not having a very large list adverse reactions, but they take it off pain syndrome only mild and medium form.
A completely safe pain reliever that allows you to achieve several effects simultaneously:
- relieves moderate pain;
- reduces fever;
- has a slight effect on eliminating inflammation.
The active ingredient of the same name is a powerful analgesic, and in combination with other components its analgesic effect is enhanced. A combination drug, Vicks Active SymptoMax, was created based on paracetamol. It includes phenylephrine, which constricts blood vessels, therefore effectively relieving muscle and joint pain, but helps little with toothache. The same can be said about Vicks Active SymptoMax Plus, where, in addition to the two components mentioned above, guaifenesin is added. These are more like anti-cold remedies; to relieve toothache, it is better to take pure Paracetamol.
Ibuklin and Brustan
Combined drugs with a clearly marked analgesic effect plus anti-inflammatory. Based on paracetamol and non-steroidal ibuprofen, Ibuklin was created, which effectively relieves toothache, even in young children.
Brustan has an antipyretic effect, relieves inflammation and relieves pain.
Gevadal
A combined paracetamol-containing product with the addition of caffeine and propyphenazone. The last component is made from pyrazolones, helps achieve analgesic stability, paracetamol reduces fever, caffeine plays a role in important role to dilate blood vessels and enhance the action of the remaining two components.
This product can be used for moderately intense pain symptoms, but occurring periodically.
Another popular combi-analgesic. The product line includes three drugs based on codeine. Three more components are added to it - paracetamol, caffeine, propyphenazone. Codeine is narcotic analgesic, but of natural origin. It blocks opiate receptors. The other two components have an analgesic and antispasmodic effect. The drug is a fairly powerful remedy for toothache, which relieves even severe pain.
By the way. Due to the presence of codeine, the drug is sold in pharmacies only by prescription, but there is a lighter version - Caffetin Light, which does not contain the narcotic substance, and therefore has a weaker effect, helping only with moderate pain.
An effective combined analgesic, which contains five components (penta in Greek - five):
- drotaverine – an antispasmodic with myotropic action;
- caffeine is a vasodilator;
- naproxen is a non-steroidal component;
- paracetamol is an analgesic component;
- Pheniramine maleate is an antiallergen.
Pentalgin is quite effective for pain associated with inflammatory processes.
Non-steroidal drugs for toothache are a special topic. They are today considered by most dentists to be the most effective. x analgesic activity is much higher than that of other analgesics.
Ibuprofen comes first among them. In any case, it is in the lead, along with Ketorolac.
The pain-relieving capabilities of Ibuprofen are exceptional. But him main value that the drug is absolutely safe. It is recommended for use even by infants.
There are many drugs available with the active ingredient ibuprofen. All of them can be taken for pain of moderate or above moderate severity and for prolonged toothache.
There is one medicine that is no less popular than Analgin, but even more controversial in terms of side effects and the subsequent reaction of the body. This is Aspirin. Its analgesic activity leaves much to be desired, but many people still, for many years, take Aspirin against toothache, claiming that it helps like no other drug.
Important! Aspirin can numb a damaged tooth mild form, but the active ingredient of this drug is acetylsalicylic acid– aggressively in high doses. Therefore, before taking this medicine for toothache, it is better to make sure that there are no other options.
The same non-steroidal analgesic as Ibuprofen. This is an effective modern pain reliever, which is often prescribed for moderate and severe pain. Naproxen is especially good if the tooth hurts deeply, due to damage to the nerve or root by carious bacteria.
There are five medications with the active ingredient naproxen. This:
- Pronaxen;
- Apranax;
- Sanaprox;
- I tried it.
And here it is - the best remedy for toothache. Ketorolac, a non-steroidal drug, which many doctors compare in terms of strength to opioids and not even in their favor. This is not a drug, but its action helps to achieve an analgesic effect quickly, reliably and for a long time. He is a leader in the list of strong analgesics. And, of course, there is a fly in the ointment. Medicines containing the active ingredient ketorolac should not be taken long time or regularly, due to a huge list of serious adverse reactions.
- Stomach irritation.
- Attacks of nausea.
- Diarrhea.
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Drowsiness.
- Perforation of the stomach.
- Stomach bleeding.
- Liver lesions.
- Kidney failure.
All this can happen to those who systematically take Ketorolac for a long time. However, the drug is almost indispensable for relieving severe toothache, although it does not have an anti-inflammatory effect and does not help reduce fever.
This drug is the most popular antispasmodic myotropic action. Only the good old No-shpa is more popular, but it is, in fact, an analogue of the drug, made from the same name active substance. It relieves pain while removing muscle spasm. Reduces pressure on blood vessels and expands smooth muscles.
Important! In addition to the pronounced analgesic and antispasmodic effects, Drotaverine is also extremely safe, so much so that it is even used in obstetrics to relieve uterine spasms.
There are dozens of Drotaverine analogues. These are No-shpa, and Spazmol, and Droverin, and others.
There are many analgesics that can relieve pain in a disturbing tooth. But this is only for a while, short or long, depending on the strength of the drug. When the action ends, the pain most often returns again. And the stronger and more effective the drug, the more contraindications it has and side effects, the more strongly it affects the body, introducing changes that threaten future deterioration of health.
Any drug can be taken for toothache once or several times, according to the dosage indicated in the instructions. But in no case should you turn the use of analgesics into a system that suppresses constant toothache. Sooner or later you will still have to go to the dentist. It's better if this happens as soon as possible.
