Hello,
Combinig these medications may risk your chance of increased side affects. Both prescribedvmedications have pain reducing abilities. Ponstan 500mg does list dental pain as a possible indication for use.
It is not wise to use medication that had been prescribed for other conditions and stored for a long period of time. Realize that your toothache needs diagnosis and treatment. Most likely you will require an antibiotic to help control your pain and offer relief. Infections, left untreated, can become severe enough to require a trip to the emergency room. Do not delay and seek an emergency visit with your dentist.
Thank you for your inquiry.
