Zusammenfassung

Die Opioidsubstitution mit Methadon (oral) oder Buprenorphin (sublingual) ist eine etablierte weltweit praktizierte First-Line-Behandlung der Opiatabhängigkeit. Beide Substanzen müssen täglich oder zumindest alle 2 Tage (Buprenorphin) gegeben werden. Langwirksame Opioide standen zur Substitution nicht zur Verfügung. Das ändert sich jetzt mit dem bereits zugelassenen, wöchentlich oder monatlich subkutan injizierbaren Buprenorphin Depot CAM 2038 (Buvidal®), dem monatlich zu applizierenden Depotpräparat RBP-6000 (Sublocade™) und dem 6-Monate wirkenden Buprenorphin Depot-Implantat (Probuphine™). Klinische Befunde und mögliche Indikationen dieser Medikamente werden diskutiert.

Abstract

Opioid maintenance treatment with oral methadone or sublingual buprenorphine is an established first-line treatment in opioid dependence. Both drugs must be taken daily (methadone) or at least every second day (buprenorphine). Apart from the novel subcutaneous weekly and monthly depot formulations CAM 2038 (Buvidal®) 2 other long-acting buprenorphine formulations may be introduced in the near future: the monthly depot formulation RBP-6000 (Sublocade™) and a 6-month buprenorphine implant (Probuphine™). Clininical findings of these three medications are given and possible clinical indications are discussed.
