Description
Introduction
Bupatch 20mcg/hr patch contains Buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist. It is used to manage moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring long-term opioid therapy. The patch delivers medication continuously into the bloodstream through the skin, helping maintain stable pain relief and reducing the need for frequent dosing.
The transdermal system bypasses the digestive tract, reducing nausea and vomiting compared to oral opioids. It also decreases the risk of misuse or accidental overdose due to controlled release. However, it should be used with caution in patients with breathing issues (like COPD) or bowel obstruction risks, as it may worsen respiratory depression or paralytic ileus.
The effect of the patch may continue even after removal. Do not adjust dosage without medical advice. Inform your doctor if you have allergies to buprenorphine or patch components before application.
Uses
Management of moderate to severe chronic pain.
