The first entry in this section is an image of a lethal dose of fentanyl. There is no reference to buprenorphine - why is it here? Chrism5408 (talk) 10:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the body of that section directly next to the image, it details how buprenorphine plays a role in drug treatment, specifically opioid use disorder (which is also mentioned in the first sentence). Fentanyl abuse treatment in particular is a very common use of buprenorphine. There is also a sentence regarding buprenorphine's administration at the scene of an overdose (such as from fentanyl).

I have no problem with the description of buprenorphine's role in drug treatment, just don't feel the image is appropriate or adds anything to the topic. Chrism5408 (talk) 12:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I think the image is appropriate and relevant, I also don't think it adds anything to the article, and I'd be fine with its removal. Kimen8 (talk) 12:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
