Brief Answer:
There are no generic Nucynta at this time in the USA.

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for contacting us at healthcare magic.

I have reviewed your information fully. At this time, there are no authorized generics for this drug. Being a pain medication, if you cannot afford and the insurance isn't ready to cover for, I will suggest that you doctor explores the option of using other pain medications to address your pain.

There are many pain medications and what works best for each person is often identified after multiple trials. I will encourage your doctor to try other opioids so as to figure out what other options can work great for you.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know if there is something else you want us to talk about at this time.
