Switch from methadone to buprenorphine with microinduction in outpatient setting
In line with earlier reports on microinduction, the switch from methadone to buprenorphine was carried out with no opioid withdrawal symptoms or complications. Microinduction offers a smooth and more patient-friendly approach to switching from full opioid agonists to partial agonists. Randomised controlled trials are, however, needed for a systematic evaluation of this method.
