Per #NICE website, #Buprenorphine “Transdermal patches are available in strengths of 5, 10, 15 and 20 micrograms/hour as 7-day formulations” ( bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/buprenor )

I strongly recommend that as #pwME, one starts on the lowest dose and only increases if necessary, as we tend to be more med-sensitive than the gen pop.

Addiction treatment got easier during Covid. A new proposal would keep it that way

"Federal regulators on Tuesday announced a proposal to take the emergency policies enacted in 2020, in response to the emerging pandemic, and make them permanent. In particular, the changes would preserve patients’ expanded access to two key medications used to treat opioid addiction: #methadone and #buprenorphine "

STATAddiction treatment got easier during Covid. A new proposal would keep it that way“The reality is, if it is easier to get illicit drugs in America than it is to get treatment, we will never bend the curve on overdoses,” said Rahul Gupta, the nation's drug czar.

The 1st Step Act ordered federal prisons to give addiction medications to more prisoners. But 4 yrs later, >90% of people who need them aren't on them

Instead, they're getting punished for smuggling in meds they should be getting legally.
