Tapentadol marketed as Nucynta
Hi Sandy,
I just looked up this drug and realized that it has been on my watch list under the name of Tapentadol.
Apparently it is a very clean drug as it is cleared by the kidneys. It is a dual action, centrally acting analgesic. The IR formulation had been approved by the FDA in 2008 for acute pain. There has been an ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial for the ER formulation for use with various pains so I'm pleased to see it's been passed and now on the market.
I hope your daughter finds good results with it.
MsL
