Buprenorphine is an opioid partial agonist/antagonist which attaches itself to the ÎŒ (mu) and Îș (kappa) receptors of the brain. Its activity in opioid maintenance treatment is attributed to its slowly reversible link with the ÎŒ receptors which, over a prolonged period, minimises the need of illicit opioids for patients with opioid dependence.
