Episode 903: Treating Precipitated Opioid Withdrawal
Manage episode 417996976 series 1397179
Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD
Educational Pearls:
Opioid overdoses that are reversed with naloxone (Narcan), a mu-opioid antagonist, can precipitate acute withdrawal in some patients
Treatment of opioid use disorder with buprenorphine can also precipitate withdrawal
Opioid withdrawal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and agitation
Buprenorphine works as a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, which may alleviate withdrawal symptoms
The preferred dose of buprenorphine is 16 mg
Treatment of buprenorphine-induced opioid withdrawal is additional buprenorphine
Adjunctive treatments may be used for other opioid withdrawal symptoms
Nausea with ondansetron
Diarrhea with loperamide
Agitation with hydroxyzine
