A randomised controlled trial comparing tapentadol with oxycodone in non-breastfeeding women post elective caesarean section.

CONCLUSION: Tapentadol did not provide superior pain control or improved tolerability compared to oxycodone post caesarean section. Results should be interpreted however with consideration of administration of intrathecal opioids to all patients in this study and debate over the optimal dose of tapentadol for acute pain.
