About this listen

This week's case is about a patient, John, currently prescribed OxyContin 40 mg every 12 hours and hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-325 mg, two tablets three times daily, totaling approximately 180 MMEs per day. The patient is being considered for a transition to buprenorphine for chronic pain management using a standard rotation approach. We'll walk through the clinical reasoning, dosing strategy, and the transition protocol.
