Description
Suboxone is a prescription medication used to treat opioid dependence (opioid use disorder). It contains two active ingredients:
-
Buprenorphine – a partial opioid agonist. It attaches to the same receptors in the brain as opioids like heroin or oxycodone but produces weaker effects. This helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without creating the same level of euphoria.
-
Naloxone – an opioid antagonist. It is included to prevent misuse. If someone tries to inject Suboxone, the naloxone will block opioid effects and trigger withdrawal symptoms. When taken as prescribed (under the tongue or inside the cheek), naloxone has little to no effect.
Key points about Suboxone:
-
Used as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), alongside counseling and behavioral therapy.
-
Helps people reduce or stop their use of opioids.
-
Comes in film or tablet form, usually dissolved under the tongue or against the cheek.
-
Common side effects: headache, nausea, constipation, sweating, insomnia, and mouth numbness.
-
Serious risks: respiratory depression (if combined with other sedatives), dependence, or misuse (though the naloxone helps reduce this risk).
