The medication should be stored securely to prevent misuse. Patients with a history of respiratory issues or substance abuse should use Abstral with caution and under medical supervision.

Avoid Interactions

  • Abstral may interact with other medications, including central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and other opioids.
