AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
DSUVIA is a sublingual tablet formulation of sufentanil, a potent full opioid agonist approved in 2018 for acute pain management. It delivers rapid analgesia through the sublingual route, bypassing first-pass metabolism for faster onset compared to oral opioids. The drug is indicated for opioid-tolerant patients requiring fast-acting pain relief in acute care settings.
