This randomized clinical trial compares 100-mg and 300-mg maintenance doses of extended-release buprenorphine. While overall efficacy was similar, the 300-mg dose significantly improved abstinence among patients with high-frequency fentanyl
This randomized clinical trial compares 100-mg versus 300-mg maintenance doses of extended-release buprenorphine. While overall efficacy was similar, the 300-mg dose significantly improved abstinence rates among heavy fentanyl users, offeri
A population PK–PD study in healthy volunteers found that a physiologic model incorporating CO2 kinetics and a ventilatory controller estimates fentanyl potency for ventilatory depression at ~2.3 ng/mL—substantially lower than estimates fro
