THE SYDNEY ADDICTION SEMINARS ARE BACK, with our upcoming topic:
_Depot Buprenorphine: Will it be a Game Changer?_ Face-to-face &
webinar tickets available!
Perhaps the greatest disincentive to opioid pharmacotherapy for opioid
dependence is the need for supervised dosing, which is inconvenient,
time-consuming, expensive and often poorly compatible with life
activities that hallmark “recovery”.
Two depot buprenorphine products, Buvidal® (Camurus) and Sublocade®
(Indivior) have been submitted for consideration of listing under the
Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme in Australia.
How and when will these treatments be rolled out in Australia? Are
there any down sides to this new treatment modality? Will it change
people’s preference for treatment medication? How will dose tapering
towards eventual “graduation” be accomplished? These and other
questions will be dealt with in this seminar.
Course Objectives
At the end of this seminar, the participant will be able to:
* Show understanding of the clinical pharmacology of the different
depot buprenorphine products and formulations, and how that translates
into treatment guidelines.
* Show familiarity with the safety and side effect profiles of these
medications, including precautions and contraindications.
* Show knowledge of induction and dosing schedules for depot
buprenorphine.
* Demonstrate an informed approach to treatment matching among
opioid pharmacotherapies including depot buprenorphine.
