A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that buprenorphine use during pregnancy is associated with a slightly lower risk of major congenital malformations compared to methadone use. However, the authors caution that methadone should not be ruled out as the better choice for some women, particularly those who were on stable treatment before pregnancy or who do not respond well to buprenorphine.
