Buprenorphine (10 Mg)

Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch manages moderate to severe pain and opioid dependence/addiction. Functioning by obstructing the transmission of pain-inducing chemical messengers, it mirrors the effects of opioid drugs.

This medication is commonly prescribed for various conditions, including chronic pain, pain associated with cancer, and as part of opioid addiction treatment. Its application involves changing the patch every seven days, a regimen aimed at averting withdrawal symptoms. It's important to note that Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch is not recommended for short-term pain relief.

Designed to provide enduring relief, this patch offers a versatile solution for prolonged pain and opioid addiction management. Its mechanism of action, while akin to opioids, offers a non-conventional approach to alleviate discomfort and aid in addiction recovery. It is a remedy best suited for situations where sustained relief is necessary, in persistent pain and opioid dependency.

Moderate to severe pain: Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch helps in reducing pain sensations, providing relief from moderate to severe pain.
Opioid dependence/addiction: This patch works by producing similar effects to opioid drugs, helping individuals manage and overcome their addiction.

Directions for Use of Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch

Choose a clean, dry, and rash-free area on your upper chest, back, arm, or side of the chest.
Peel off the protective liner from the patch.
Press the adhesive side firmly onto the chosen area and hold it for about 15 seconds.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the patch.
Change the patch every 7 days and apply it to a different site each time.
Consult your doctor for specific advice on how long you should use the patch.

Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch is a medicine that is applied topically to the skin, NOT taken orally or internally.

Side Effects of Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch

When using Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch, there are some side effects you may experience. Here are a few common ones:

Constipation: This can be managed by increasing your fluid intake and eating foods high in fibre.
Dizziness: To minimize dizziness, make sure to stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.
Drowsiness: It is important to avoid activities that require alertness until you know how this medicine affects you.
Headache: Taking a break and resting in a quiet, dark room can help alleviate headaches.
Nausea: Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods may help reduce nausea.

Managing the Side Effects:

To manage these side effects without additional medicines, here are some natural ways:

Constipation: Stay hydrated and include fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.
Dizziness: Take your time when changing positions to prevent sudden drops in blood pressure. Also, try practising deep breathing exercises.
Drowsiness: Ensure you get enough sleep at night and take short breaks throughout the day to rest if needed.
Headache: Apply a cool compress to your forehead or temples and try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation.
Nausea: Eat small, frequent meals and avoid strong smells or triggers. Ginger tea or ginger candies may also help alleviate nausea.

Buvalor 10 Transdermal Patch contains buprenorphine as its active ingredient.

Buprenorphine works by binding to specific receptors in the brain called opioid receptors.
Binding to these receptors blocks the chemical messengers responsible for transmitting pain signals.
This helps in reducing the perception of pain and providing relief.
Buprenorphine also produces similar effects to opioid drugs but with fewer risks of overdose or abuse.
It has a long duration of action due to its slow release from the patch into the bloodstream.
The slow release allows for consistent pain control over some time.
Additionally, buprenorphine can help in managing drug dependence by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction.
Its unique properties make it an effective option for both pain management and addiction treatment.
