Avatar f tn You are getting phamocologically confused with your frantic search for an answer. Suboxone is a compuond containing BUPRENORPHINE and NALTREXONE - - - Subutext contains only Buprenorphine. Both are used to treat opiate problems.
Avatar m tn Subutex is 100% Buprenorphine while suboxone is Bup plus Naloxone which is an opiate blocker. Some detoxes use Subutex to start to avoid severe withdrawl symptoms which can come on if suboxone is taken too early before severe withdrawls start. The reason Subutex is not widely used in the U.S. is it is easily abused. Subutex is widely abused and replaced heroin for many addicts in Europe. Take the option out of your hands....
Avatar f tn It must he taken under the tongue because of the naltrexone. It is not absorbed sublingually and the buprenorphine is absorbed quickly that way. It is not absorbed in the stomach. Just the way the medication works.
Avatar n tn Suboxone is a medication that contains buprenorphine and Naloxone. The naloxone is added to the buprenorphine to lessen the odds that a user will abuse the medication. Because Naloxone can sometimes cause symptoms of opiate withdrawal, pregnant women wanting to take buprenorphine are normally advised to take Subutex instead. Subutex is exactly the same as Suboxone, but it contains no Naloxone, only buprenorphine.
1800740 tn?1324237171 Suboxone is the brand name for a medication consisting of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a thebaine derivative with powerful analgesia approximately 20-40x more potent than morphine. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist and antagonist of the opioid receptors in the central nervous system which means when the its molecule binds to a receptor, it will transduce only a partial response in contrast to a full agonist such as morphine.
Avatar f tn This med is like a narcotic you need to lower the dose 5mg then taper off. There is another way to go its called Naltrexone implant this can keep you from physical and psychological cravings. Hope you find help just don't quit go to NA they will help you. You can do it.

1181063 tn?1264711290 the receptors under your tongue are small enough to absorb buperenorphine at that point on your body ....................the naltrexone molecule is larger and not absorbed there = only to be washed into gastric area by saliva and destroyed by gastric juices.............same with the Buprenorphine - - wash it into the gastric juices via insufflocating and you render most of it non-bioavailable...............dont waste it...........if you need it follow the directions............

Avatar f tn Check out especially our blog on the Naltrexone therapy, it may be a way for you to stay clean long term. Also, I encourage you to look at my clinic website www.mdsdrugdetox.com, because it gives a lot of information that you might be interested in, as we do detox many people from Suboxone. Clonidine is very useful to help with withdrawals if your doctor can prescribe it to you, however I highly advise you against taking any medications that were not prescribed to you by a physician.
Avatar f tn Suboxone contains the active medication buprenorphine. There is a great deal of emotion around this and other sites over Suboxone; I encourage you to listen primarily to medical professionals, as some of the other opinions have taken on zealotry that is more likely to cloud judgment than buprenorphine! Realize first that Suboxone contains nothing new; the two medications have been used by doctors for over 30 years.
Avatar n tn Hi Gulfportgyrl. Welcome to the forum. No, the analgesic effect of Suboxone is mainly responsible for helping you feel better. Yes they are both opioid antagonists, however, they have a different type of action. Naloxone is fast acting-was mainly designed for countering opioid drug overdose. Naltrexone - longer and slower acting- was designed for treating addictions.
Avatar f tn OK, I'll try to explain this if I can. We're talking about 3 drugs. Their generic names are naltrexone, naloxone, and buprenorphine (hence called bupe cause I don't wanna spell it out all the time). Now, naltrexone and naloxone are basically the same acting drug. They both can be either used to "reverse" an opiate overdose, or stop an addict from getting an benefit from taking an opiate.
Avatar m tn Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a very potent opiate with a flat dose/response relationship. The result is that with Suboxone you are either 'on' it or 'off' it, rather than being able to regulate the dose. 'On' Suboxone means an opiate effect equal to about 30-40 mg of methadone per day.
3177469 tn?1344454268 The Effect of Telaprevir on the Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine in Volunteers on Stable Buprenorphine/Naloxone Maintenance Therapy This was an open-label, single-sequence trial in HCV-negative volunteers on stable, individualized, buprenorphine maintenance therapy. Telaprevir 750mg every 8 hours was co-administered with buprenorphine/naloxone (4:1 ratio as sublingual tablets) for 7 days with food.
897400 tn?1303329148 t fully understand the difference between Naloxone and Naltrexone, but I do know that Naloxone is used like an antidote for opiate overdose and Naltrexone is not. That Suboxone ( naloxone and buprenorphine ) causes eupohria but not naltrexone. Naltrexone isn't addicitve either in low dose or high dose. It produces very different reactions in the body when used in low dose as opposed to high dose.
Avatar f tn I am in medical hospital and they want me to detox off methadone with help of buprenorphine does anyone know about this drug or used it . I am scared and need feedback ASAP.
Avatar m tn Can anyone help me with some knowledge of this medication????? I have a relative who's suffered badly for years and tried every clinic and therapy and medication and nothing helped till now. He's lately been prescribed this buprenorphine and he swears it's just about given him his life back. My question is it a narcotic, therefore addictive. Does it have the nasty side effects of oxy or other pain meds.
