December 17, 2025The Medical Revolution: Journavx (Suzetrigine)
- How it Works: Unlike opioids that target the brain and spinal cord, suzetrigine targets the NaV1.8 sodium channel found exclusively in the peripheral nervous system.
- What it’s For: Currently, it is approved for moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults, such as recovery after surgery (e.g., bunionectomies or abdominoplasties).
- Availability: Following its approval, Vertex Pharmaceuticals began shipping the drug to pharmacies nationwide in late February 2025.
The Gaming Revival: Painkiller (2025)
For fans of the legendary 2004 first-person shooter, 2025 also marked the release of the reimagined Painkiller video game.
Rather than a direct remake, this version introduces a 3-player co-operative mode, a new tarot card upgrade system, and a grappling hook for faster movement. The game remains true to its roots, featuring fast-paced combat against hordes of demons in Purgatory, backed by an intense metal soundtrack.
Emerging Safety Trends in 2025
The year 2025 has also seen increased vigilance regarding synthetic drugs. Authorities have warned about nitazenes—a class of synthetic opioids appearing in counterfeit pills that can be up to 100 times stronger than fentanyl. To combat this “hybrid crisis,” medical professionals are increasingly advocating for multimodal therapy, combining non-opioid drugs like suzetrigine with non-drug treatments like neurostimulation and cognitive behavioral therapy.
