What is Suboxone

NaloxoneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNaloxone is a medication that blocks or reverses the effects of opioid drugs like morphine and fentanyl. It is used to treat drug overdoses which can cause serious symptoms like difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness. Naloxone can be given as an injection, nasal spray, or intravenous (IV) infusion. It is also available in the combination product Suboxone with the opioid medication buprenorphine. Naloxone works quickly but only lasts for a short time, so it is important to monitor the person injected for responsiveness and provide additional doses if needed. It is also important to note that naloxone

Effectiveness

How Suboxone Affects PatientsNaloxone is a medicine that can be used to counteract the effects of opioid overdoses. It wears off faster than opioids, so multiple doses may be needed. Naloxone has a wide range of effectiveness, and is only useful if the person has taken opioids. When administered, naloxone may cause withdrawal symptoms and it should be noted that it may not completely alleviate all symptoms if other drugs are present.
How Suboxone works in the bodyNaloxone is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. When someone has taken opioids, naloxone can be used to reverse their effects. If someone hasn't taken opioids, naloxone won't have any significant effect.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed dosage of Suboxone is dependent upon the determined illness, such as Opioid Dependence, Pain and Septic Shock. The extent of dosage shifts depending on the system of delivery (e.g. Spray, metered or Tablet) as documented in the table below.

Suboxone for Narcotic Addiction
Suboxone has been a game-changer for me. I've only been taking it for a couple weeks, but it's helped immensely. I know the strips aren't ideal, but they're better than going back to using fentanyl.

Patient Q&A Section about suboxone

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What does Suboxone do to you mentally?

"Suboxone can have negative effects on the brain and behavior, especially when used incorrectly. Possible side effects include depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Suboxone also has a high potential for being diverted for abuse."

Answered by AI

What do they give you Suboxone for?

"Suboxone is a prescription medication that is used to treat people who are addicted to opioids. It contains two ingredients, Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which means that it blocks the opioid receptors and reduces a person's urges."

Answered by AI

Is Suboxone a painkiller?

"Naloxone — an opiate antagonist that limits the euphoric effects of opioids.

Suboxone is a partial opioid that contains a combination of two components: Buprenorphine, a mild opiate analgesic that helps treat moderate pain, and Naloxone, an opiate antagonist that limits the euphoric effects of opioids. Suboxone is used to treat opioid addiction and chronic pain."

Answered by AI

What kind of opioid is in Suboxone?

"The active ingredient in Suboxone, Buprenorphine, is attractive to both patients and medical professionals treating them because it is a partial agonist of the mu opioid receptor and an antagonist of the kappa receptor."

Answered by AI

Is Suboxone a controlled substance or a narcotic?

"Suboxone is a drug classified as a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States, meaning it is a drug deemed to have medical value yet also carry moderate risk for addiction. Only doctors who receive certifications from the Department of Health and Human Services may prescribe Suboxone."

Answered by AI

Is Suboxone the same as methadone?

"No, methadone and Suboxone have different ingredients. Methadone only has one ingredient, methadone hydrochloride. Suboxone is a combination of two medications, buprenorphine and naloxone."

Answered by AI

What exactly does Suboxone do?

"Suboxone is a prescription medication used in treating those addicted to Opioids, illegal or prescription. It contains the ingredients Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Buprenorphine, a partial Opioid agonist, blocks the Opiate receptors and reduces a person's urges to use Opioids."
