摘要:
The use of buprenorphine in the preparation of a medicament for a method of effectively treating pain in humans is achieved by administering buprenorphine in a manner indicative of first order pharmacokinetics over an initial three-day dosing interval, such that a maximum plasma concentration from about 20 pg/ml to about 1052 pg/ml is attained, and thereafter maintaining the administration of buprenorphine for at least an additional two-day dosing interval in a manner indicative of zero order kinetics, such that the patients experience analgesia throughout the at least two-day additional dosing interval.

摘要:
A transdermal delivery system comprising buprenorphine for use in treating pain in a human patient for a dosing interval of at least 4 days, wherein said transdermal delivery system after applying the transdermal delivery system to the skin of a patient provides a release rate of buprenorphine over about a 72 hour dosing interval such that a maximum plasma concentration of from 20 pg/ml to 850 pg/ml is attained and the transdermal delivery device when maintained on the skin of the patient for at least an additional 24 hour interval provides plasma concentrations of buprenorphine in the patients above the minimum effective concentrations of the buprenorphine, such that the patients continue to experience effective pain management during this additional dosing interval.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the use of buprenorphine in the preparation of a medicament for effectively treating pain in patients for a dosing interval of at least 5 days, comprising applying onto the skin of the patients a transdermal delivery device containing buprenorphine which delivers the buprenorphine substantially according to first order kinetics to provide a mean plasma concentration from about 24 to about 850 pg/ml about 3 days after application, the transdermal buprenorphine delivery device being maintained in contact with the skin of the human patient from about 2 to about 6 additionally days, such that the patient continues to receive effective analgesia from the transdermal buprenorphine delivery device.
