Question:
What is the name of the painkiller made from the conotoxin of the coneshell marine snail?
I have a friend whose mother is in constant pain due to impact fractures in her spine. She is on morphine and some other drugs but they aren't helping. I heard about this painkiller made from the cone shell's conotoxin that is much more powerful than morphine but has no side effects. What is the name of this painkiller? Does anyone know? Are there any doctors out there who know?
Answers:
The name of the drug from the snail is Prialt. There is another drug called Tectin that is made from blow fish. Both are very powerful.
