Pharmacological treatment strategies to manage precipitated withdrawal following the administration of buprenorphine in opioid use disorder: A systematic review
There is a paucity of research into pharmacological management of buprenorphine precipitated opioid withdrawal. The limited very low to low quality evidence suggests treatment regimens that include magnesium sulphate and additional doses of transmucosal buprenorphine are potentially the most salient current options and avenues for future research in the management of buprenorphine precipitated opioid withdrawal.
