Saw this yesterday. If it's any good, it's a huge breakthrough.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It's approved for acute (like post-surgical) pain. I wonder how long it'll be before it's approved for chronic pain.

Saw a doc at Cleveland Clinic interviewed about the drug. After an initial higher dose, q12 dosage can control mild to moderate (depending on patient) pain. The doc compared it to low dose opioids.

The neat thing about it is that It's very targeted. Opiates are so non-specific - there's the respiratory depression, the pain relief, the nausea, the euphoria.

For years, work has been directed at an opiate that is specific for analgesia without interacting the other receptors. People have come close, but never been successful.
