title: Effect of sublingual buprenorphine on gastric emptying of a liquid meal.
abstract: The effect of buprenorphine 0.2 mg sublingually on gastric emptying of a liquid meal in 10 volunteers was compared with placebo. Gastric emptying was measured by applied potential tomography and was delayed significantly by buprenorphine (P less than 0.001).
