Tapentadol is the least common opioid found in admission urine drug-test results at an intensive outpatient opioid-use disorder treat-ment program in Ohio: A brief report
CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of UDT results from patients seeking treatment at an OUD program in Ohio, tapentadol was the least frequent finding among the opioids examined, and this remained true when adjusting for dispensing data. Factors potentially contributing to this difference may include pharmacological properties unique to tapentadol. Several important limitations notwithstanding, these findings are consistent with previous real-world evidence and warrant an ongoing line of inquiry.PMID:33735424 | DOI:10.5055/jom.2021.0610 (Source: Journal of Opioid Management)
