Online acute pain evaluation — non-opioid options including Journavx

For a recent injury, strain, dental or post-procedure pain, a licensed clinician reviews what happened and what you've tried. If it fits, non-opioid treatment such as an anti-inflammatory or Journavx (suzetrigine) can be prescribed and sent to your pharmacy. Ondoc does not prescribe opioids.

Short-term pain

Journavx is approved for moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults, for up to 14 days. Long-term or chronic pain needs a different plan.

FAQs

What is Journavx?

Journavx (suzetrigine) is an FDA-approved non-opioid pill for moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults. It blocks the NaV1.8 pain signal in nerves outside the brain, is not addictive in the way opioids are, and is not a controlled substance.

Can I just order Journavx?

No. A clinician evaluates your pain first. Journavx is not right for everyone: it interacts with some common medicines, isn't recommended with certain liver problems, and can make hormonal birth control less effective.

Does Ondoc prescribe opioids?

Ondoc's acute-pain service uses non-opioid options and does not offer an opioid pain program.

When should I go in person instead?

Go to urgent care or the emergency room for a possible broken bone, a deep wound, a head injury, chest pain, severe belly pain, or pain with fever, weakness or numbness.

Can I use insurance?

Yes. Choose your insurance when you start. If you'd rather not use insurance, you can pay the standard self-pay visit fee.
