What is the proper dosage of nucynta (tapentadol) following a lower molar extraction with bone graft and stitches?

Depends: Nucynta (tapentadol) is a newer drug for people with a true narcotic allergy which is relatively rare. It's a schedule 2, so similar to percocet/oxycodone in strength. Dosage depends partially on your tolerance to pain meds is, so someone with a history of a lot of paineds will need a higher dose that someone who hasn't taken much. That said, average dosing is 50-100mg every 4-6hrs as needed for pain.

One tab 4-6 hrs: Tapentadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for a short time. Tapentadol is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics.

Depends: Depends on whether immediate release or extended release and the type of pain. 50, 75 0r 100mg every 4-6 hours. Your doctor will prescribe the correct amount for you.
