JOURNAVX – A Non-Opioid for Acute Severe Pain
from Druggist For The People · host Donald Schoeff R.Ph.
Send us Fan MailSummary: Journavx was born of the search for an option to opioids for moderate to severe pain relief. The early results are mixed, some claiming it to be a miracle drug, others dismayed with its lack of effectiveness and its side effects. Since Journavx utilizes a novel (non-opioid) approach to severe pain relief, the drug was fast-tracked by the FDA, which is a process used to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs which provide unmet medical needs, and thereby provide faster access for patients. Post marketing review is essential to fully defining this drug’s benefits and risks.
