There is a new pain medication out (strong like Oxy), and all that I know is that it starts with an "E". Can you help me?

Asked by Jude (32210points) July 25th, 2011

My partner’s Aunt mentioned it on the weekend. She got off of Oxycontin (which she was taking after a knee replacement) because it made her throw-up. Now, she is on this drug and, so far, no side effects. Anyone know the name. It came out not long ago.

Endocet is oxycodone and paracetamol so basically it’s the same stuff as oxycontin but with paracetamol (although admitedly the paracetamol massively increases the effectivess of narcotics so she might be able to get away with a smaller dose and hence less side effects).

Are you perhaps thinking of Fentanyl ? I realize that it doesn’t begin with an “E” but it is nonetheles the most prominent SOUND in the word.

@Buttonstc No. It is not I who is taking it. Also, I am certain that it starts with an “e”.
