In this episode, we talk to Tyler Prickette, Clinical Pharmacist at Fort Healthcare, about two medications that are used to treat opioid use disorders, specifically buprenorphine and naltrexone. We start with a conversation about the difference between being physically dependent on opioid medications versus having an opioid use disorder. We discuss how the medications differ, how they work, the benefits, and the potential risks of taking these medications. You will not want to miss this informative session. Listen to it here:
