Summary
Buprenorphine is a potent analgesic often used in the treatment of opioid addiction. The drug is sold under the trade names Subutex™, Buprenex™, Temgesic™ and Suboxone™, which contain buprenorphine HCl alone or in combination with naloxone HCl.
Therapeutically, buprenorphine is used as a substitution treatment for opioid addicts. Substitution treatment is a form of medical care offered to opiate addicts (primarily heroin addicts) based on a similar or identical substance to the drug normally used.
In substitution therapy, buprenorphine is as effective as methadone but demonstrates a lower level of physical dependence. Concentrations of free buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine in urine may be less than 1ng/mL after therapeutic administration, but can range up to 20 ng/mL in abuse situations.
The plasma half life of buprenorphine is 2-4 hours. While complete elimination of a single dose of the drug can take as long as 6 days, the window of detection for the parent drug in urine is thought to be approximately 3 days.
Substantial abuse of buprenorphine has also been reported in many countries where various forms of the drug are available. The drug has been diverted from legitimate channels through theft, doctor shopping, and fraudulent prescriptions, and been abused via intravenous, sublingual, intranasal and inhalation routes.
The BUP Buprenorphine Test yields a positive result when the concentration of buprenorphine in urine exceeds 10 ng/mL.
