FYI- Suboxone is actually buprenorphine combined with naloxone whereas Subutex is only buprenorphine. When Suboxone is taken sublingually as indicated, the buprenorphine is absorbed and naloxone is not. Thus, if taken as prescribed, Suboxone can be an effective detox/maintenance drug. However, if it is injected, the naloxone becomes bioavailable, binding as an antagonist to the opiod receptors and inducing withdrawal if the user was taking methadone, heroin, or buprenorphine (theoretically). Clever. |
