They appeared unaware of the risk of dependence from Kamini and most had struggled to manage their use for many months before presenting for treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>After two cases were presented at a clinical meeting, a chart review was conducted of cases across four public opioid treatment clinics in south\u2010east Queensland with about 1500 patients registered, identifying 10 further cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve patients presented with features of opioid withdrawal, seeking treatment after use of Kamini for periods between 6\u00a0months and 8\u2009years. Eleven patients were born in India. Nine patients stabilised on buprenorphine maintenance treatment, three of whom commenced long\u2010acting injectable buprenorphine. One patient left after 1 day and subsequently began methadone treatment with a private prescriber. Two patients on smaller doses and shorter\u2010term use undertook withdrawal with prescribed (off\u2010label) trans\u2010dermal buprenorphine. One patient, initially lost to follow\u2010up, later stabilised on long\u2010acting injectable buprenorphine. Reasons for presenting included supply shortages and financial distress during the COVID\u201019 pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Kamini represents an illicit source of non\u2010prescription opioid in Australia. Although classified as an illegal import by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, patients confirm that it is readily available in Brisbane. Targeted efforts are needed to prevent further patients developing opioid dependence from use of Kamini and also to highlight treatment options for those seeking to stop Kamini use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/dar.13475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,12]],"date-time":"2022-05-12T17:00:19Z","timestamp":1652374819000},"page":"1404-1407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Kamini, a little recognised source of illicit opioid: A case series of 12 patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Tabibul","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Addiction Service Metro South Health  Logan Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pem","family":"Ariyawansa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcohol and Other Drug Service Gold Coast Health  Gold Coast Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janette","family":"Quinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcohol and Drug Service West Moreton Health  Ipswich Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3065-7591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeremy","family":"Hayllar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcohol and Drug Service Metro North Health  Brisbane Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"Therapeutic Goods Administration.Safety Advisory.
