Description
The purpose of the Controlled Substances and Immunization Update is to provide pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with an overview of the use of buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder and an evaluation of the new, non-opioid pain medication, suzetrigine, using the STEPS Analysis (Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, Price, and Simplicity).
