JOURNAVX® at CONA

A New Non-Opioid Option for Acute Pain Management

Relief Without Opioids

At Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurosurgical Associates (CONA), we are committed to providing innovative treatment options that help our patients recover safely and comfortably.

JOURNAVX® (suzetrigine) is a first-in-class, FDA-approved, non-opioid prescription medication designed to treat moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults, including pain following surgery or injury. By targeting pain signals before they reach the brain, JOURNAVX offers effective pain relief without being an opioid.

Why Consider JOURNAVX?

Unlike opioid medications, JOURNAVX works through a different pathway to manage pain and is not classified as a narcotic.

Benefits may include:

Non-opioid pain management
FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe acute pain
May reduce the need for opioid medications after surgery
Designed to target pain at its source
Prescribed by your healthcare provider when clinically appropriate

Your CONA provider will determine whether JOURNAVX is the right treatment option based on your procedure, medical history, and individual needs.

How Does JOURNAVX WORK?

JOURNAVX works by blocking specific pain-signaling pathways in the peripheral nervous system before those signals reach the brain.

Because it works differently than opioids, it provides another option for patients seeking effective short-term pain management after surgery or injury.

Who May Benefit?

Your provider may consider JOURNAVX if you are experiencing:

Post-operative pain

Orthopaedic injuries

Acute musculoskeletal pain

Pain following outpatient procedures

Other short-term moderate-to-severe pain conditions

What Should Patients Know?

Before taking JOURNAVX:

Inform your provider about all medications and supplements you take.

Tell your provider if you have liver disease.

Notify your provider if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Certain medications and grapefruit products may interact with JOURNAVX.
