Comment from Not Just 4 Paws Animal Hospital

Summary: A veterinary hospital is requesting that compounded Buprenorphine ER be included on the list of bulk drug substances for compounding. They argue that the commercial version lacks the necessary extended-release formulation required for their long-acting pain management protocols.
The access to compounded Buprenorphine ER. It is essential to our hospital. Pain management for animals in hospitals is imperative. We have reliably used compounded injectable Buprenorphine in our hospital for many years and we must have it available on hand for our protocols. Commercial Buprenorphine injection is not in an extended release formulation and not acceptable for the long acting use we need it for. Please allow us to retain access to compounded Buprenorphine ER for injection!
