Buprenorphine injection is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
Buprenorphine Hydrochloride Injection is a partial opioid agonist used for pain management. Let’s explore more about it:
Description:
Buprenorphine hydrochloride is a parenteral opioid analgesic.
It is approximately equivalent to 10 mg morphine sulfate in analgesic and respiratory depressant effects in adults.
Pharmacological effects occur as soon as 15 minutes after intramuscular injection and persist for 6 hours or longer1.
Each mL of Buprenorphine HCl Injection contains 0.324 mg buprenorphine hydrochloride (equivalent to 0.3 mg buprenorphine), 50 mg anhydrous dextrose, water for injection, and HCl to adjust pH2.
Usage:
Buprenorphine injection is used as a short-term treatment to relieve severe pain in people who are expected to need an opioid pain medication and who cannot be treated with other pain medications3.
It works by changing the way the body senses pain and is classified as an opiate partial agonist.
