History
In November 20th of 2008, the FDA approved the use of Nucynta on the market as a drug used to cure acute pain symptoms in the body.
Medical use
As mentioned, Nucynta is generally used to treat severe pain in the body that can be caused by surgery, an injury or chronic musculoskeletal pain. It can also be used to control the pain that you can feel from diabetic neuropathy that you can get when round the clock medication is required. Its effectiveness is between that of morphine and tramadol with a painkilling usefulness that is quite comparable to that of oxycodone despite a lower occurrence of side effects.
