The drug comes in extended release tablets, which strive to manage the neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in adults.

The medication also aims to help adults with severe chronic pain resulting from extended use of an opioid analgesic.

Clinical studies found NUCYNTA use resulted in a one-point reduction in pain intensity during a three week treatment period and substantial pain improvement after 12 weeks.
