"The publication of this data provides important information to healthcare professionals about the role of Butrans for the management of moderate-to-severe chronic pain in patients requiring a continuous around-the-clock opioid analgesic for an extended period of time," said Deborah Steiner, MD, MS, medical director at Purdue Pharma L.P.

The Butrans Transdermal System, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2010, is indicated for the management of moderate-to-severe chronic pain in patients requiring an around-the-clock opioid analgesic for an extended period of time.  Butrans is the first transdermal system approved in the United States that delivers continuous release of the active ingredient, buprenorphine, for seven days.

Butrans is a Schedule III opioid prescription medication and can be abused in a manner similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit.  Working with the FDA, Purdue Pharma L.P. has developed a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for Butrans that includes a Medication Guide, Elements to Assure Safe Use, such as healthcare providers training, and a timetable for submitting assessments of the REMS.  This information is available at www.Butransrems.com.
