Drug Class 2

Years ago Nubain used to be a popular and effective drup for pain. It was the only thin that relieved my mom's back pain or my migrain headaches. I am a nurse and haven't heard of anyone getting Nubain in years so I asked an MD recently. He couldn't give me an answer. If it's not classified as a narcotic and relieves pain, why aren't more doctors prescribing it? ## Nubain contains the active ingredient Nalbuphine, which is still considered an opioid, though you are right, it is not classified as a narcotic and doesn't fall under the controlled substances act. I am not sure why it isn't used more often, though it may be due to the fact that it was found much more effective in women and it can actually increase pain in men. This fact actually resulted in the U....

acne treatment ## Comed is not a prescription drug, it appears to be an over the counter, topical skin acne treatment. This means that it is not actually proven to help with anything. In addition, while I can find it mentioned on a few sites, I can find no specifics on its price, use or ingredients. Has anyone else tried this? ## My sister and I used Komed in the 1980s. It really helped my sister who had very bad acne. It helped me somewhat I didn't have as bad a case of acne as my sister. The only drawback I recall was that if not rubbed in all the way (applied as lotion) a white film at the edges of the application area could be seen; which was embarrassing if a classmate noticed it.

What ever happened to this drug? It helped me so much to function but also relieved all kinds of pain in my body. I know it is an older drug from the 60's but it was a God send to me.
