A Stacy Wiegman, PharmD , Pharmacy, answered. There is no generic version of Nucynta (tapentadol). Nucynta is an opiate (narcotic) analgesic -- medication prescribed for people with chronic pain who need relief around the clock and will likely have pain for an extended period of time. It's not used to treat acute bouts of pain.
Nucynta is a narcotic used to relieve moderate-to-severe short-term pain. It comes in tablet form and is taken every four to six hours. The medication works by binding to certain opioid receptors; it actually behaves similarly to morphine in the body.
