To eliminate the disorders, therapy is used in the form of gastric lavage, intake of enterosorbents, and other symptomatic procedures. In more severe forms of disorders, hemodialysis or forced diuresis procedures are used.
Interactions with other drugs
Combination of the drug with phenothiazine derivatives leads to hyperthermia. Combination with sedatives and tranquilizers can potentiate the analgesic effect of the drug.
The risk of developing leukopenia increases when the drug is combined with thiamazole or cytostatics.
Tempalgin is able to reduce plasma levels of cyclosporine, and also increase the medicinal effect of antidiabetic agents, GCS, indomethacin and anticoagulants with an indirect type of influence.
When used in combination, the activity of drugs that induce liver enzymes, such as barbiturates or phenylbutazone, may be weakened.
Mutual potentiation of toxic properties cannot be excluded when the drug is combined with NSAIDs, allopurinol, metamizole sodium, certain oral contraceptives and tricyclics.
Codeine with propranolol, as well as drugs that block the activity of H2-endings, can inhibit the elimination of Tempalgin.

Reviews
Tempalgin receives a large number of reviews, many of which indicate that it demonstrates quite high efficiency. The drug helps to eliminate pain that occurs during menstruation, as well as headaches and toothaches.
It should be noted right away that the drug affects different people differently. For example, in some of them, in addition to eliminating pain, it also reduces or increases blood pressure, and some patients did not notice any drug effect at all. Usually, the reason for this is not the severity of pain, but the pathogenic factors that provoke their development.
There are reports indicating that some patients used the drug as an analgesic for a long time. There are also data where patients, taking Tempalgin, weakened the severity of pain, as a result of which the disease passed into the chronic stage of development.
Of course, there are situations in which the use of analgesics is absolutely necessary, but you need to understand that if there is no result from the use of drugs, you need to contact a doctor, without self-medication.
