Ep95. Long-acting injectable buprenorphine with Dr Vin Gamage

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I chat with Dr Vin Gamage, a General Practitioner (GP) training to be a GP Anaesthetist. He is also an authorised prescriber of methadone.

    We discuss long-acting injectable buprenorphine: its history, development and the formulations currently available in Australia. Crucially, we discuss how to manage acute pain in someone who might be on one of these medications.

    There is a bit of pharmacology in this episode. So we have made a video which summarises some of the specifics. It can be found in the 'Anaesthesia Recipe Book' on the ASA website: https://asa.org.au/asaeducation/anaesthesia-recipe-book.

    You'll need to be an ASA member to access the video.
