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.
Tapentadol (brand names: Nucynta, Palexia and Tapal) is a centrally acting opioid analgesic of the benzenoid class with a dual mode of action as an agonist of the Î¼-opioid receptor and as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI). Analgesia occurs within 32 minutes of oral administration, and lasts for 4â6 hours.
