new oral opiod approved

[Guest guest]

The FDA here in the US has just approved a new oral opiod for moderate

to severe pain, brand name Opana, or oxymorphone hydrochloride. It's

now available in both immediate and extended release forms. It

previously was available only as an injectable.

Here's a link to a news release about it off WebMD:
