Q: How long after having a severe negative reaction to pain medication will it be safe to start taking them again? Have MHE...causes lots of pain in joints, muscles, tendons. Need some relief from pain
Severe drug reactions can be scary for everyone. And that makes people a little gun shy. One medication which is new on the market and works a little differently than other opioids is called Nucynta (tapentadol). This medication seems to be well tolerated in even the most sensitive person. Talk to your doctor because the newer medications tend to have the least amount of side effects and adverse reactions.
