Hale M et al. - Tapentadol is a novel, centrally acting analgesic with two mechanisms of action, ?-opioid receptor agonism and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition, in a single molecule. This phase III, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluated the tolerability of tapentadol immediate release (IR) and oxycodone IR for low back pain or osteoarthritis pain (hip or knee), using flexible dosing over 90 days...During this 90-day study, tapentadol IR was associated with improved gastrointestinal tolerability compared with oxycodone IR while providing similar pain relief.
