Nucynta (tapentadol) dosage after tooth extraction?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
50-100mg for pain: The usual dosage for acute pain is between 50 to 100mg every 4-6 hours as needed. For those needing long-term pain control, extended release formulation ranges from 50-250mg taken 2x/day, max 500mg/day. Overdosage may cause more side effect and can be dangerous. Start low and increase if needed. Consult your doc if you are having trouble. Good luck.
