Lucemyra is a prescription medication used to treat opioid withdrawal symptoms to help facilitate abrupt opioid discontinuation in adults.

Lucemyra belongs to a group of drugs called central alpha-2 adrenergic agonists. Lucemyra binds to specific receptors in the brain and decreases norepinephrine release. This reduction of norepinephrine can help adults better tolerate opioid withdrawal by lessening severity of the symptoms.

This medication comes in tablet form and is taken four times daily, with or without food.

Common side effects of Lucemyra include low blood pressure, dry mouth, and slow heart rate. Lucemyra can also cause drowsiness and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Lucemyra affects you.
