Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with plenty of water. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Obtain medical attention.
Note to Physicians: Buprenorphine is an opioid receptor partial agonist; competitive.
In case of suspected exposure, monitor for 2 hours for the following symptoms: respiratory depression, nausea/vomiting, dizziness, pinpoint pupils, euphoria, headache, sweating and drowsiness.
In the event of overdose, general supportive measures should be instituted, including close monitoring of respiratory and cardiac status of the patient. Symptomatic treatment of respiratory depression, following standard intensive care measures, should be performed. A patent airway and assisted or controlled ventilation must be assured. The patient should be transferred to an environment within which full resuscitation facilities are available. If the patient vomits, care must be taken to prevent aspiration of the vomitus. Use of an opioid antagonist (e.g., naloxone) is recommended, despite the modest effect it may have in reversing the respiratory symptoms of buprenorphine compared to its effects on full agonist opioid agents. If naloxone is used, the long duration of action of buprenorphine should be taken into consideration when determining the length of treatment and medical surveillance needed to reverse the effects of an overdose. Naloxone can be cleared more rapidly than buprenorphine, allowing for a return of previously controlled buprenorphine overdose symptoms, so a continuing infusion may be necessary. Ongoing IV infusion rates should be titrated to patient response. If infusion is not possible, repeated dosing with naloxone may be required. Initial naloxone doses may range up to 2mg and be repeated every 2-3 minutes until a satisfactory response is achieved. Patients dosed with initial doses totalling greater than 4mg should be monitored closely.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder
Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen may be released.
Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section Eight (8).
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, sewers, ditches, and waterways. Notify local authorities if you cannot contain a major spill.
Methods for Containment: Special instructions are not necessary.
Methods for Clean-up:
Minor Spills: The material is only slightly soluble in water. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with an appropriate HEPA filter to pick up dry powder. Mop up with damp cloths, place in a plastic bag and seal. Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal requirements, including Drug Enforcement Administration regulations for controlled substances.
Major Spills: Contain spill. The material is only slightly soluble in water. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with an appropriate HEPA filter to pick up dry powder. Mop up with damp cloths, place in a plastic bag and seal. Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal requirements, including Drug Enforcement Administration regulations for controlled substances.

Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
