Abstract

Rising concerns regarding diversion and misuse of mono-buprenorphine for treatment of pregnant women with opioid use disorders have sparked interest in the use of buprenorphine + naloxone to reduce misuse and diversion rates. Examined the relationship of prenatal buprenorphine + naloxone exposure to neonatal outcomes. This is a retrospective chart review of 26 mother infant dyads in comprehensive medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine + naloxone during pregnancy. All neonatal birth outcome parameters were within normal ranges, albeit on the lower side of normal for gestational age and birth weight. Only 19% of neonates required morphine pharmacology for NAS. Use of buprenorphine + naloxone shows relative safety in pregnancy. These findings can help better guide prescribing practices for pregnant patients at risk for misuse or diversion of buprenorphine.
