Abstract
This study compared the risk of receiving an opioid abuse diagnosis between tapentadol and oxycodone in 2 U.S. claims databases. The risk of receiving an abuse diagnosis was lower with tapentadol during the year of follow-up. Opioid prescribers and patients must be aware of the risk of abuse associated with all opioids.
