Current opioid medications such as morphine, hydrocodone and oxycodone are effective painkillers, but come with terrible side effects, including addictive potential. As a result, nearly 80 deaths occur each day in the U.S. from opioid overdose while millions of chronic pain patients are left without adequate alternatives. Blue Therapeutics is developing novel medicines to provide better pain treatment while helping to end to the cycle of addiction and abuse that begins at the doctor's office.
