The drug comes in extended release tablets, which strive to manage the neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in adults.

Clinical studies found NUCYNTA use resulted in a one-point reduction in pain intensity during a three week treatment period and substantial pain improvement after 12 weeks.
