Prescription Required: It is a controlled substance due to its potential for dependence and misuse.
How It Works:
Acts on opioid receptors in the brain to relieve pain.
Helps prevent withdrawal symptoms in people recovering from opioid addiction.

Drowsiness, dizziness
Nausea, vomiting, constipation
