AcelRx’s chief medical officer, Pamela Palmer, told BuzzFeed News that although sufentanil is a more potent opioid than fentanyl, the 30 microgram dose of the tablet delivers less of an opioid effect than the bigger doses in other painkillers do. The benefit of the tablet, packaged individually instead of in a bottle of pills, is that it delivers pain relief quickly, without an injection.
“I don’t think other people would want it — it won’t deliver the effect that illicit drug users want in such a very low dose,” Palmer said. Because of the low dosage, the company found that the drug worked without dangerous side effects even on elderly cancer patients who had never taken opioids before, she noted.
What’s more, Palmer said, “the Defense Department asked us for this drug.”
