The FDA today approved Hysingla a harder to abuse tamper resisdent pill to replace hopefully the controversial Zohydro.

Yahoo news released the statement just awhile ago.

…I just read this a few moments ago on other internet news, and see that this is a once a day pill. It will be interesting to see how well patients do with it, and if it will actually last a full 24hrs.

I have a hard time believing it will work for a full 24 hours. I bet it would be better as a 12 hour 2x/day dosage.

Maybe it will help someone with mild to moderate chronic pain for 24 hours, but not someone like most of us including me that have extreme, severe chronic pain.

Hey Markh...What happened with your doctors this week?  Are you scheduled for tests/surgeon consult?

Sorry OT...I've been off the grid with shingles and the cause of shingles (my mom).

The Oxycodone equivalent has been out since March 2014 it's called Xartemis XR preventative daily 7.5MG only pill.  It does not mix with other meds taken, its anti-addictive, cannot be abused, etc.  I've tried it, take 2 pills every 12 hours. 

The future is almost completely here.  When these are tried and true they should be affordable once insurance companies jump all over this.

Well so far the 24 hour meds have not turned out to last that long but we will see I guess,the other issue is can it be afforded by those who are most likely to need it? Insurance companies are so far behind on what is approved and whats not that we may not have this available readily to us on medicare and medicaid for a year.

You would think that paying for a preventive once a day or even twice a day cutting the overall amounts of meds required would be cheaper in the longrun for these companies but then who knows how they think or if they even do?

As it becomes available it will be interesting to watch the addiction sites to see if they figure out a way around the anti-abuse mechanisms and yes they post it and even go so far as a step by step of how they do it!! Lol I love reading there and I lurk in some of them just to see what lengths they go to for a high!!
