TL;DR
The clinical evolution was favourable as neither cardiac nor respiratory trouble was observed during the treatment of an opiate naive, 4 year-old child and the main pharmacokinetic characteristics of high-dose buprenorphine were favourable.
Abstract
To the Editor:Buprenorphine is a semi‐synthetic opioid acting as a partial antagonist of morphine receptors with longer activity than morphine. The main pharmacokinetic characteristics of high‐dose...

The results of this study confirm previous reports of buprenorphine blockade of opioid agonist effects in humans and extent those findings by demonstrating both a bup Renorphine dose-effect function and a dissociation between the potency of bu prenorphin's opioid blockade for self-report vs. physiological measures.
Drug and Alcohol DependencePharmacokinetic comparison of the buprenorphine sublingual liquid and tablet

Results showed that the liquid doses produced dose-related increases in plasma concentrations, although there was substantial individual variability, and the buprenorphine tablet dose might have to be adjusted to produce plasma concentrations equivalent to those of the liquid.

Several drug packages, including Subutex (high-dose buprenorphine, as sublingual tablets) boxes, were found near the corpse of a 25-year-old male drug addict, who apparently had committed suicide and the autopsy revealed a fatal respiratory depression.

Buprenorphine is used as maintenance therapy for opioid‐dependent patients and is thought to be safer because it is less likely to cause serious respiratory depression, but concomitant use of psychotropics, especially benzodiazepines, and intravenous injection of dissolved buprenorphines increase the risk of a serious overdose.

The effects of buprenorphine on individual responses to an acute intravenous dose of morphine or cocaine during the inpatient study did not reliably predict the frequency of heroin or cocaine self-administration during the first 4 weeks of daily outpatient bup Renorphine maintenance.

A retrospective study carried out on the frequency and severity of accidental poisoning in children by narcotics or buprenorphine in Marseille between 1993 and 1999 found cannabis and Subutex were responsible for the most severe cases.
