New opioid pain patch approved in the UK

Posted by ed_uk on September 30, 2005, at 16:07:12

BuTrans (buprenorphine) transdermal patches are now available from Napp. They are licensed for the treatment of severe opioid-responsive pain conditions, which are not adequately responding to non-opioid analgesics. There are three patch strengths available, delivering 5µg/hour, 10µg/hour and 20µg/hour. The patches should be changed every seventh day.
Transtec (buprenorphine) patches are already available - but they only last for 3 days. The new BuTrans patches are supposed to last 7 days.
