Buprenorphine
A partial opioid agonist used both for the treatment of opioid use disorder and for moderate-to-severe pain management. At lower doses, it suppresses opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms while reducing the euphoric effects of other opioids. Its ceiling effect on respiratory depression makes it safer in overdose compared to full opioid agonists.
