Is anyone having good success with Butran?

Post by Stainless »

I can't take buprenorphine orally because of dental issues. I'm considering Butran. Hopefully a generic if available?

I tried doing research of trusted organisations and found "There is “very low-quality evidence” that transdermal buprenorphine is better than placebo in improving pain" in a NIH National Library of Medicine. It is from a summary of Buprenorphine for Chronic Pain: A Review of the Clinical Effectiveness 2014.

Does anyone know if it can be prescribed in Florida for RLS? I think my neurologist fears prescribing anything dealing with opioids but somehow doesn't consider HYDROCODONE ACTAMIN in that class.

It looks like it is sold in 4 - 7 day patches. Can anyone tell me roughly the cash cost of a dose used for RLS. All I can find is discount pharmacy ads.

Thx
