Buprenorphine Shortage (Buprenex Shortage) - Bayview Pharmacy can Help!
Posted on Thu, Apr 15, 2010 @ 02:31 PM
If you or your patients are having difficulty getting injectable buprenorphine from your current supplier due to manufacture backorder, Bayview Pharmacy may be able to help.
Bayview Pharmacy, Rhode Island's premier compounding pharmacy, has the ability to compound injectable buprenorphine for veterinary or human use. Buprenorphine is one of the most popular opioid analgesics used in veterinary medicine.
Prescriptions will need to be written with the request to compound, and an example of how you might prescribe follows:
Compounded Medication
Buprenorphine 0.3mg/ml
Injectable Solution
#10ml
Give 0.1ml inside the cheek pouch Q8-12H as needed
We also can ship anywhere in the USA, next day if need be.
