**ATTENTION Buprenorphine Users- UPDATED**

We have updated the policy (found under Policies and Guidelines) for use of extended release formulations of buprenorphine. These formulations are designed to eliminate the need for multiple dosing. If you are currently approved to use buprenorphine as an analgesic agent and would like to use one of these formulations we are allowing a substitution without the requirement of an amendment. An email must be sent to ACUC@jhmi.edu giving the protocol number and stating that extended release buprenorphine is being added to the protocol.  If you are not currently approved to use buprenorphine and would like to add this as an option then an amendment will need to be submitted.  The new policy provides a description of the drugs and dosing.  For ordering, please go to Important Links and click on Instructions for purchasing Buprenorphine SR and SRLab from ZooPharm.
