Medical pain management is evolving — and we’re paying attention. 💊

There hasn’t been a new pain medication that is non-narcotic since the turn of the century, but here it is. Journavx is pronounced “Jur Na Vix”, and the generic name is suzetrigine, This new medication works in a completely different way than what we’ve had before, making it worth a closer look. But as with anything new, the key is understanding who it can help, when it’s appropriate, and what to consider.

Dr. Spira broke it down in this article so patients can understand how it works:

Discover Journavx for pain control—a new non-narcotic medication for acute pain. Learn how it works, who it's for, and how The Village Doctor can guide you!
