Figure 8

Simulations in a representative (“typical”) individual with chronic opioid use showing the effect of 4 subsequent fentanyl i.v. doses (0.25, 0.35, 0.50, and 0.70 mg/70 kg) on top of a buprenorphine plasma concentration of 0 (placebo), 1, and 5 ng/mL. (AC) Fentanyl and buprenorphine plasma concentrations (Cp). (DF) Fentanyl and buprenorphine receptor occupancy. (G–I) Ventilation.
