Product Description

Buprenorphine, first synthesized in the late 1960s, was introduced into clinical practice in 1978 as a parenteral analgesic; in 1981 as a sublingual tablet and in the late 1990s as a transdermal patch. Some misconceptions developed about buprenorphine, but sound clinical investigation has now revealed the true picture of the fascinating preclinical and clinical pharmacology of this valuable and unique drug. Consequently, the time is ripe to offer the medical professions a reference book in which both the basic science and contemporary clinical results are made available together with recommendations for optimal prescription and use in patient care.
