DRUG–DRUG INTERACTIONS IN OPIOID THERAPY
A FOCUS ON BUPRENORPHINE & METHADONE
What are drug−drug interactions?
Drug−drug interactions are a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Most of these deaths are related to interactions between opioid medications and other drugs.
New website and mobile apps
Our new tool provides fast access to the information you need to identify risks at a glance. ‘Drug–drug interactions in opioid therapy’ is now available as a website and an app for both Apple and Android devices. It concisely reviews the current evidence on the likelihood of drug−drug interactions between either methadone or buprenorphine and 120 commonly prescribed drugs. We hope this information will provide a rapid reference for those treating patients receiving opioid medications.
