Each year, about 125 million opioid prescriptions are written for Americans with pain caused by broken bones, burns, surgeries, and other injuries and procedures.

Journavx is the first and only approved non-opioid oral painkiller and the first new class of pain medicine approved in more than 20 years.

One participant in the drug trial for Journavx said it eliminated her pain without making her feel loopy or nauseous, which she says she experienced when taking opioids.
