Committed to exploring
opioid alternatives

There’s no ignoring it. The opioid crisis in America has taken a toll
on too many patients and families.

Innocoll wants to be part of the solution. That’s why we’re dedicated
to delivering non-opioid alternatives for postsurgical pain that can provide
effective pain relief with less risk for dependency and abuse.
