Msl,

Thank you for the information, it seems to help her for a few hours, but then her pain is returning. I think it will take a little while for it to get into her system to show if it is really going to help her.

thanks again,

Sandy

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.
