Soon after, pharmaceutical companies created several drugs patterned from fentanyl analogs like alfentanil, lofentanil, remifentanil and sufentanil. (rehabnear.me)
Fentanyl6
Structurally, sufentanil differs from fentanyl through the addition of a methoxymethyl group on the piperidine ring (which increases potency but is believed to reduce duration of action), and the replacement of the phenyl ring by thiophene. (wikipedia.org)
Although Dsuvia's primary ingredient, sufentanil, is a Schedule II medication, opioid drugs related to it (like fentanyl) have been diverted, produced illicitly, and widely abused. (serenityatsummit.com)
An increase in illicit fentanyl production and distribution - it is often mixed into heroin or cocaine - has led to a spike in opioid overdose deaths around the United States because fentanyl and its analogs, like sufentanil, are much more potent than morphine and heroin. (serenityatsummit.com)
But underlying the debate surrounding this approval is a broader issue that must be addressed head on: why do we need an oral formulation of sufentanil - a more potent form of fentanyl that's been approved for intravenous and epidural use in the U.S. since 1984 - on the market?

It contains 30 micrograms of a synthetic opioid painkiller known as sufentanil, which is 5 to 10 times more potent than fentanyl, and 1,000 times more potent than morphine. (healthline.com)
Dsuvia6
Sufentanil, sold under the brand names Dsuvia and Sufenta, is a synthetic opioid analgesic drug approximately 5 to 10 times as potent as its parent drug, fentanyl, and 500 times as potent as morphine. (wikipedia.org)

In November of 2018, its lead product candidate DSUVIA® (sufentanil sublingual tablet 30 mcg) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (asra.com)
In this particular case, Dsuvia is a sublingual (under the tongue) formulation of sufentanil that's delivered through a disposable, pre-filled, single-dose applicator. (healthjobsnationwide.com)
Dsuvia, which was previously approved by the European Medicines Agency in July under the brand name Dzuveo, has some unique features in that the drug is delivered in a stable form that makes it ideally suited for certain special circumstances where patients may not be able to swallow oral medication, and where access to intravenous pain relief is not possible.
