Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Calcium channel blocker (dihydropyridine type) that inhibits the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and decreased myocardial contractility.
TRIVARIS combines an opioid agonist-antagonist (buprenorphine) and a mu-opioid receptor antagonist (naloxone). Buprenorphine partially binds to mu-opioid receptors, reducing withdrawal and craving, while naloxone precipitates withdrawal if injected, deterring abuse.
Intravenous: 5 mg/hr initially, titrate by 2.5 mg/hr every 15 minutes based on response; usual maintenance 3-10 mg/hr.
TRIVARIS 10 mg orally once daily, with or without food.
