UPDATE: Adial Says In Recent Study 'PNV-5030 alone exhibited a significant pain reduction as compared to the control group and a similar effect to 1mg/kg morphine.'

PNV-5030 alone exhibited a significant pain reduction as compared to the control group and a similar effect to 1mg/kg morphine. Importantly, PNV-5030 demonstrated a significant effect when administered with 1 mg/kg morphine as compared to administering 1 mg/kg morphine alone. Interestingly, when combined with 1 mg/kg morphine, PNV-5030 achieved a similar level of pain reduction to the reduction obtained with 2mg/kg morphine. These results could indicate the possibility of lowering the opioid dose to achieve a similar pain reduction level by combining an opioid with PNV-5030 or even eliminating the use of an opioid for pain relief in favor of a higher dose of PNV-5030.
