Buprenorphine, in combination with naloxone, is a partial opioid agonist medication primarily used for the treatment of opioid dependence and opioid use disorder. The combination is an approved and widely used pharmacotherapy to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings and is designed to reduce misuse potential of buprenorphine alone.
Population pharmacokinetics in adult opioid-dependent patients (males and females, aged 18-65 years), typical for sublingual tablet co-formulation buprenorphine/naloxone.
