Bioavailability of Sublingual Buprenorphine
@article{Mendelson1997BioavailabilityOS, title={Bioavailability of Sublingual Buprenorphine}, author={John E. Mendelson and Robert A. Upton and E. Thomas Everhart and Peyton Jacob Iii and Reese T. Jones}, journal={The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology}, year={1997}, volume={37} }
Buprenorphine administered sublingually is a promising treatment for opiate dependence. Utilizing a new, sensitive, and specific gas chromatographic electron‐capture detector assay, the absolute bioavailability of sublingual buprenorphine was determined in six healthy volunteers by comparing plasma concentrations after 3‐ and 5‐minute exposures to 2 mg sublingual and 1 mg intravenous buprenorphine. The amount of unabsorbed buprenorphine in saliva was measured after 2‐, 4‐, and 10‐minute…

Rifampicin decreases exposure to sublingual buprenorphine in healthy subjects
- Biology, MedicinePharmacology research & perspectives
- 2016
Concomitant use of rifampicin and low‐dose sublingual buprenorphine may compromise the analgesic effect of bupenorphine and this can be mainly explained by an enhancement of CYP3A‐mediated first‐pass metabolism, which sublingUAL bupreliminary bypasses.
Voriconazole greatly increases the exposure to oral buprenorphine
- Biology, MedicineEuropean Journal of Clinical Pharmacology
- 2018
Voriconazole greatly increases exposure to oral buprenorphine, mainly by inhibiting intestinal and liver CYP3A4, and effect on some transporters may explain elevated norbuprenorphines concentrations.

Overall, OTM administration of buprenorphine is as effective as i.v. treatment and offers a simple, noninvasive method of administration which produces thermal antinociception for up to 6 h in cats.
Systemic uptake of buprenorphine by cats after oral mucosal administration

The pharmacokinetic data obtained after the intramuscular and intravenous administration of buprenorphine to cats from the same colony, suggesting that the mucosal route of administration should be as effective as intravenous and intramUScular injections.

It is suggested that this route may be particularly appropriate for highly lipophilic drugs like buprenorphine, as it caused a significant fall in the postoperatively elevated plasma glucose, and prevented any further rise in plasma cortisol.

Plasma drug concentrations after sublingual buprenorphine were significantly higher than those in the placebo group by 1 h and remained significantly higher over the succeeding nine hours.

Sublingual buprenorphine was acceptable to opiate‐addicted outpatients as a maintenance treatment, however, daily doses of greater than 4 mg will probably be required to suppress concurrent opiate abuse, and detoxification will need to be undertaken gradually.
