Reviews
Tempalgin receives a large number of reviews, many of which indicate that he demonstrates a fairly high efficiency. The medication helps to eliminate the pain that occurs during menstruation, as well as headaches and toothaches.
It should be noted immediately that the drug has different effects on different people. 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 medication at all. Usually the reason for this is not the degree of pain, but the pathogenic factors that provoke their development.
There are reports that indicate that some patients have used the drug for a long time as an analgesic. There are also data when patients, taking Tempalgin, weakened the severity of pain, resulting in the disease passing into a chronic stage of development.
Of course, there are situations in which the use of analgesic drugs is extremely necessary, but it must be understood that in the absence of a result of the use of drugs it is necessary to contact the doctor without self-medication.
