Tapentadol
Tapentadol is an opioid analgesic with a dual mechanism of action as a μ-opioid receptor agonist and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain and is characterized by lower nausea and sedation compared to classical opioids. The potential for dependence is present, but moderate compared to other opioids. The combination of mechanisms may enhance analgesic efficacy.
