Our goal was to establish new pharmacological criteria for a drug to be used in the treatment of opioid dependence. We propose the following six pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic criteria: (i) the same pharmacodynamic properties as the drug being substituted; (ii) a long duration of action (minimum 24 hours, not requiring several daily doses) in order to prevent fluctuations in effect and especially withdrawal symptoms; (iii) few euphoric effects together with a minimal reinforcing effect for the drug itself and other drugs; (iv) oral or sublingual administration without any special affinity for other routes, especially the intravenous; (v) a New Drug Application (NDA) in this indication, after submission of a dossier including both clinical randomised comparative trials and security data; and (vi) compatibility with a socially satisfying quality of life. These criteria were applied to methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that were proposed in the treatment of opioid dependence (such as morphine or codeine).
