Buprenorphine. See guidance of attached Table 3, referencing total daily dose of buprenorphine. Consider this practical approach to balance concerns of relapse for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and humanistic pain control. The reason for tapering buprenorphine to a lower dose if possible is for enhanced pain management. • If post-surgical pain can be managed without opioids it is the preferred choice allowing the patient to restart their OUD treatment. • If opioid therapy is necessary for pain management, it should be limited with a set end date and follow up with their OUD prescriber.

Buprenorphine. For Buprenorphine (Subutex), each days does should be packed separately, do not put a weeks supply in one box and pop a tablet out daily (Pharmaceutical Society). The tablets should be removed from their foil into a paper cup for the patient to place in their mouth. The tablets take up to 10 minutes to dissolve in the mouth, though it is thought that most of the active ingredient is absorbed in the first 3 minutes. Offering a drink of water before the tablet is put under the tongue can accelerate the process. After the dose has been swallowed, the pharmacist should offer a drink of water to the client – this ensures that the does has not been held in the mouth. A sticky residue may remain which contains no active ingredients. Daily doses should be prepared in advance of the patient’s arrival. The daily amount should be measured, checked and poured into a container, capped and labelled. When the pharmacy is open, prepared does may remain out on the dispensary bench under supervision of the pharmacist. After the dose has been swallowed, the pharmacist should offer a drink of water to the client – this ensures that the dose has not been held in the mouth and also serves to remove the sucrose content of the methadone mixture from the patient’s teeth. If the patient declines a drink it is helpful to engage in conversation to ensure the dose has been swallowed. Entry in the CD register should be made on the day of dispensing.
