buprenorphine patch

A buprenorphine patch is a skin patch that delivers medication steadily over time to help manage opioid dependence or moderate to severe pain. Buprenorphine, the medication, works by activating certain brain receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while also alleviating pain. The patch is applied to clean, dry skin and replaced regularly, providing a controlled dose without the need for daily pills. It helps improve treatment adherence and provides consistent symptom relief while minimizing risks associated with misuse, making it an effective tool for medical management of pain or addiction.
