Abstrakt: Buprenorphine is commonly used as a treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Transition to buprenorphine traditionally has been done using a low-dose initiation regimen due to concerns surrounding precipitated withdrawal. There are increasing data supporting use of a high-dose initiation regimen in the nonpregnant population. This retrospective case series describes six individuals with OUD who underwent high-dose buprenorphine initiation in pregnancy. There were no instances of sedation, respiratory depression, supplemental oxygen use, or death. All individuals were successfully transitioned to buprenorphine. These findings provide support for high-dose buprenorphine initiation in pregnancy, but future large studies are needed.
