摘要
Abstract Buprenorphine is a mixed opioid agonistlantagonist which appears to produce less physical dependence and respiratory depression than typical μagonist opioids. These effects suggest its use for analgesia for drug abusers. However, buprenorphine may precipitate withdrawal from other opioids. The present case illustrates the utility of buprenorphine and describes a method to transfer a patient from a μagonist to buprenorphine without precipitating withdrawal or interrupting analgesia. © 1991 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
