A member asked:
Can you tell me how is it possible that buprenorphine and butorphanol are partial agonists-antagonists?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Agonist/antagonist: They are agonists at some receptor types and antagonist at other receptor types. Also agonist/antagonist effects may also be dose dependent as well.
