This study evaluated the dose response with Buprenorphine (BUP) urine samples using a quantitative assay. Urine samples randomly collected were analyzed for urine creatinine and BUP. Urine BUP levels gradually increased with dose in the patient samples. No interference was found with high levels of opiate, methadone and cocaine. In conclusion, there is good correlation between dose and both BUP ng/mL and urine corrected BUP levels. This suggests that compliance monitoring is possible when creatinine corrected quantitative BUP levels are used (No EX).
