Buprenorphine Induction Using Microdosing for the Management of Opioid Use Disorder in Pregnancy

Abstract

Background Conventional buprenorphine inductions require patients to abstain from full agonist opioids until they experience mild-to-moderate opioid withdrawal. We described a successful buprenorphine induction case in a pregnant patient using microdosing, which avoided withdrawal symptoms.
