Suzetrigine relieves pain by controlling the flow of sodium in and out of cells, and it targets one sodium channel that is specific to pain neurons in tissues that are found throughout the body but not in the brain. The medication therefore avoids the addictive potential of opioids, which work by binding to opioid receptors throughout the central nervous system, in both the brain and spinal cord.

Lt Col Charlie Brown This is a start to finding alternative to opioid medications. They say it is non-addictive. I'm not so sure about that. Psychologically a person can be addicted to even Tylenol.

Let's hope it works. Perhaps my wife can finally get some relief from her medical issues.
