Buprenorphine versus methadone – safety first?

[摘要] I was concerned that the otherwise very thorough review by Simoens et al1 gave little emphasis from their findings as to the superior safety profile of buprenorphine as a maintenance agent. It would have been useful to have some comments in the review as to the comparative overdose and mortality statistics in the studies examined.
