  ABSTRACT: Lucemyra? (lofexidine hydrochloride) has recently been approved by the US FDA for the mitigation of withdrawal symptoms to facilitate abrupt discontinuation of opioids in adults. Lofexidine is an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist. However, the clinical attributes of lofexidine differ in advantageous ways from the classical alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist clonidine. In the present study, we measured the receptor binding profile of lofexidine and clonidine in an effort to gain an insight into the clinical difference(s).
