Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I take Qudict tablets if I have a kidney issue?

A: The liver primarily metabolises buprenorphine. The liver also metabolises naloxone, but the kidney excretes the metabolites. Naloxone levels are generally not alarming in the case of mild to moderate kidney disease. The dose can be readjusted in case of severe renal disease. Consult your doctor before you start taking this medicine.

Q: Can I take Qudict tablets if I have liver problems?

A: Buprenorphine and naloxone are both metabolised by the liver. So, any liver damage may alter the levels of these two drugs inside the body. Therefore, the dose may need to be adjusted in mild to moderate liver disease. However, in severe liver damage and liver failure, Qudict tablet is contraindicated. Always consult a doctor in case of a liver disorder before taking this medicine.

Q: Can I take Qudict tablets for pain relief?

A: Qudict is mainly used to control withdrawal symptoms due to chronic opioid dependence and overdose. Buprenorphine is a mild analgesic, but its clinical effectiveness is more in managing withdrawal symptoms. Use this medicine for managing your withdrawal symptoms. Consult your physician if you want medicine for relieving your pain.
