Abstract
Opioid maintenance treatment with methadone or buprenorphine is an established first-line treatment for opioid dependence. In addition to the novel weekly and monthly subcutaneously injectable buprenorphine depot CAM 2038 (Buvidal®), which is already available in Germany, two other long-acting buprenorphine formulations may be introduced in the near future: the monthly depot formulation RBP-6000 (Sublocade™) and a 6-month buprenorphine depot implant (Probuphine™). Basic pharmacological and clinical data of these three medications are given and possible clinical applications are discussed.Entities:
