Use of nonopioid drugs for pain was reviewed in a
previous issue. For many types of moderate to severe acute pain, acetaminophen and/or an NSAID may be as effective as an opioid. Immediate-release formulations of full opioid agonists should generally be used for acute pain that is severe enough to require treatment with an opioid. Use of extended-release or long-acting opioid formulations initially and treatment durations >1 week have been associated with an increased risk of unintended long-term use.

Development of abuse-deterrent opioid products,
including reformulation of existing products, has
become a priority for drug manufacturers and
public health advocates. Since our last article on
this subject, several new abuse-deterrent opioid
formulations have been approved by the FDA,
including an oxycodone tablet formulation (Roxybond
– Inspirion) that is the first immediate-release opioid
product FDA-approved to include claims of abuse
deterrence in its labeling. No opioid formulation
prevents consumption of a large number of intact
dosage units, the most common method of abuse.
Abuse-deterrent formulations have one or more
properties that make their intentional nontherapeutic
use more difficult, less attractive, or less rewarding.

The FDA has approved Arymo ER (Egalet), a new
extended-release, abuse-deterrent tablet formulation
of morphine sulfate, for management of pain severe
enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term
opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment
options are inadequate. Arymo ER can only be
marketed to deter abuse by injection because another
single-entity, extended-release morphine product,
MorphaBond, which has not been marketed to date,
has marketing exclusivity for deterrence of abuse by
the intranasal route through October 2018.
