Particularly effective for severe pain, including post-operative pain. Dispensed from pharmacies by prescription, taken only according to indications; to prescribe, you must contact your doctor.
Application of Tempalgin
Tempalgin is a combined analgesic (painkiller) drug with antipyretic and sedative effects. It is used for feverish conditions due to high body temperature, for toothache and headache, and for reducing pain after surgery. When using Tempalgin, fear, anxiety, agitation go away, and blood pressure decreases. Tempalgin is a fast-acting drug that has a sedative effect within half an hour, and an analgesic effect after an hour. It cannot be used as a course, but should be immediately canceled as soon as the opportunity arises.
Tempalgin for headaches and toothaches
Each person has his own threshold for pain sensitivity and sometimes it is simply impossible to endure pain, especially dental and headache pain. Tempalgin will help relieve moderate pain and dull acute toothache. It contains analgesic and sedative substances, so the pain will go away within 10-15 minutes after taking the tablet, and the analgesic effect will last for several hours. The tablet should be taken after meals with plenty of water. Dosage for adults – 1-2 tablets three times a day (no more than 6 tablets per day). Children over 14 years of age can be given 1 tablet twice a day. Tempalgin should not be used for more than 5 days!
Composition of tablets of the drug "Pentalgin-N" and release form
Pentalgin-N is available in the form of tablets, white or white with a yellowish or creamy tint, flat-cylindrical, with the abbreviated name of the drug PENT-N embossed on one side. One tablet contains:
- metamizole sodium 300 mg,
- caffeine 50 mg,

- codeine 8 mg,
- phenobarbital 10 mg,
- auxiliary components.
Pentalgin-N tablets can be purchased in packs of 10 in a blister pack. 1 or 2 blister packs along with instructions for use in a cardboard pack.
pharmachologic effect
Pentalgin-N is a combination drug that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Naproxen and metamizole sodium have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Codeine stimulates opioid receptors in various parts of the central nervous system, which leads to activation of the antinociceptive system and a change in the emotional perception of pain. Codeine and phenobarbital increase the analgesic effect of metamizole sodium and naproxen. Caffeine dilates blood vessels in skeletal muscles, kidneys, heart, and brain.
Pentalgin-N increases mental and physical performance, eliminates fatigue and drowsiness; increases the permeability of histohematological barriers and increases the bioavailability of non-opioid analgesics, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect. The drug is biotransformed in the liver, excreted by the kidneys, and penetrates the placental barrier.
Indications for use
Pentalgin-N tablets are indicated for use in mild to moderate pain of various origins, including pain in the joints, muscles, radiculitis, menstrual pain, neuralgia, dental pain and headaches (including migraines). They also help with post-traumatic and postoperative pain syndrome.

Overdose
Symptoms of drug overdose: nausea, vomiting, gastralgia, drowsiness, tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory depression, delirium, weakness.
Treatment for overdose: induction of vomiting, gastric lavage through a tube, administration of adsorbents (activated carbon), symptomatic therapy aimed at maintaining vital functions.
Interaction with other drugs
Concomitant use of Pentalgin N with other non-opioid analgesics may lead to increased toxic effects. Sedatives and tranquilizers enhance the analgesic effect of the drug. The simultaneous use of metamizole with cyclosporine reduces the level of the latter in the blood. Barbiturates, phenylbutazone and other inducers of microsomal liver enzymes weaken the effects of metamizole sodium. Tricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives, and allopurinol increase the toxicity of metamizole sodium, which is included in the drug.
special instructions
During treatment you should avoid drinking alcohol. With long-term use (more than 5 days), it is necessary to monitor the peripheral blood picture and liver function indicators. The use of the drug may change the results of doping control of athletes.
In some cases, a decrease in concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions is possible, therefore, during the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions. Taking the drug may make it difficult to establish a diagnosis for acute abdominal pain syndrome.

The chemical substance codeine belongs to the group of alkaloids. It is found in opium or synthesized from morphine. Codeine can relieve headaches or toothaches and suppress nonproductive coughs. Unlike morphine, this alkaloid practically does not impede breathing and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, in pharmaceuticals it is used for the production of combined painkillers and antitussives. Codeine complements non-narcotic analgesics in such drugs as Terpinkod, Codterpin, Codelmixt, Sedal-M, Codelac, Codesan, Solpadein, Sedalgin, Kofex, Caffetin , Nurofen Plus, etc.
However, like any opiate, codeine has a pronounced narcotic effect. In high doses, it provokes euphoria. The list of side effects that occur when using codeine-containing medications is extensive: dry mouth, pain in the stomach and intestines, nausea, drowsiness or increased excitability, nervousness, ringing in the ears, decreased coordination of movements, and much more. Exceeding safe doses causes severe poisoning, in which the patient can fall into a coma. And even an acceptable amount of codeine, taken over a long period of time, makes a person physically dependent on the opiate.
A particular danger of over-the-counter sales of drugs containing opiates is that desomorphine, called “crocodile” in jargon, is made from them in a homemade way. Just a few codeine tablets are enough to get a dose of a potent drug, which becomes addictive from the first use. In a very short period of time, deep and non-healing ulcers form in desomorphine. Painful pain occurs within a year, maximum two, from the start of use. Unfortunately, the easily accessible “crocodile” quickly spread among young people.
The Government of the Russian Federation and the State Drug Control Committee believe that the withdrawal of codeine-containing drugs from free sale will help reduce the level of desomorphine. From now on, opiate medications will be prescribed to the patient by the attending physician strictly according to indications. The patient will receive a special form of prescription, which he will present at the pharmacy. You cannot buy again using the same medical prescription. After the drug is issued, the prescription remains in the pharmacy and is stored for several years.
Due to the introduction of prescription codeine-containing drugs, such as Pentalgin, Caffetin, Solpadein, Nurofen-Plus, etc., the volume of their sales has significantly decreased. Along with this, there is a trend in the area of offenses related to the production and trafficking of desomorphine.
Sources:
- Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 20, 2011 No. 599
From June 1, 2012, all medications containing codeine began to be dispensed from pharmacies only with a prescription, the form of which contains a red stripe and is a strict reporting document. It is expected that this measure will help to significantly reduce the number of drug addicts who extract desomorphine from drugs. But what should ordinary citizens who require these medications for health reasons do?
Codeine-based drugs are used as suppressants. In addition, codeine-containing ones can reduce pain, which allows them to be used for neuralgia, headaches, dental and other types of pain.
The prohibited drugs for free sale include cough tablets and mixtures: “Terpinkod”, “Codelac”, “Codterpin”, “Codesan”, “Kodarin”, “Bekhterev’s Medicine”, etc., as well as drugs that can relieve pain: “-N”, “Sedal-M”, “Nurofen plus”, “Caffetin”, etc.
Citizens who have taken, are taking or need to take these drugs can consult a doctor at any time and get a prescription. This will not cause any special problems. At the same time, they will not be able to purchase funds in the required quantity, since prescriptions will be issued for therapeutic doses from which it is impossible to obtain euphoria, even if taken at one time.
There are currently quite a few substitutes for codeine-based drugs, but they are very expensive. It has not yet been possible to create codeine, so if you need therapy, you should still contact a therapist.
Only a doctor can decide whether it is advisable to take a particular drug, prescribe codeine-based drugs, or recommend expensive ones. For example, instead of “Caffetin” they can prescribe “Gevadal”, instead of “Codelac” - “Stoptusin”, “Codelmix” can be replaced with “Brustan”, “Pentalgin” - with “Spazmalgon”, “Sedal-M” - with “Tempalgin”, etc. d.
Almost any codeine-based drug has the same effect, but the drugs do not contain codeine and can be sold from pharmacies without a prescription. But still, before taking any pharmaceuticals, you need to consult a specialist, since medications can differ significantly.

Which Pentalgin is most effective for headaches?
All drugs in the Pentalgin line are intended to relieve pain of various origins, including headaches. Due to the fact that headaches can be caused by various reasons, it is impossible to determine it yourself and decide in advance which painkiller will be the most effective. It may be optimal to choose a drug that affects different possible causes of headaches. Therefore, the drugs in the Pentalgin line contain different components with different mechanisms of action. The “new” Pentalgin contains drotaverine, which has an antispasmodic effect and therefore can be used for headaches caused by cerebral vasospasm. If you experience headaches regularly, you should consult a specialist to conduct an examination and determine the exact cause of the headache.
Can children and adolescents take Pentalgin?
The drugs Pentalgin-N, Pentalgin Plus and Pentalgin-ICN are approved for use in adults and children over 12 years of age, Pentalgin is approved for use only in adults (over 18 years of age), because There have been no studies of the effectiveness and safety of the drug in childhood and adolescence.
Please explain, are Pentalgins now available with or without a prescription?
Currently, only Pentalgin, film-coated tablets, are available over-the-counter. It contains paracetamol, naproxen, caffeine, drotaverine and pheniramine. The drugs Pentalgin-N, Pentalgin-ICN, Pentalgin-plus are available with a doctor's prescription.
Pentalgin-N and Pentalgin-ICN contain phenobarbital and codeine - can this affect the results of blood and urine tests when determining the content of narcotic substances in the blood (for example, if you suspect driving under the influence of drugs)?
Pentalgin-N contains analgin (metamizole sodium), naproxen, caffeine, phenobarbital and codeine. The elimination period for half the dose of the Pentalgin N phenobarbital component, according to literature sources, is 3-4 days, so trace amounts of barbiturates (phenobarbital) can remain in the body sometimes up to 2-3 weeks, even after a single dose of any drug containing phenobarbital.
Therefore, the instructions for use of Pentalgin N and Pentalgin-ICN indicate that when taking the drug, it is recommended to refrain from potentially hazardous activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions, which include driving. The period of abstinence from driving depends on the individual reaction and the speed of removal of components from the patient’s body. The ability to drive and the presence of signs of intoxication can only be assessed through a medical examination.
In which part of the gastrointestinal tract do Pentalgin tablets dissolve? And can they be used to relieve stomach pain?
Pentalgin tablets are film-coated, which dissolves no more than 30 minutes after administration - i.e. dissolution occurs in the stomach. However, the drug Pentalgin is not intended to relieve stomach pain.
