How does buprenorphine and naloxone interact with each other in Suboxone? I’ve heard that buprenorphine is more potent than morphine, how does the naloxone prevent this?
In: Biology
To a drug user, potency just means more difficulty in metering out a hit (whereas pharma companies have the tech to do so). It doesn’t necessarily translate into good shit mang.
The opiates that are more potent than heroin – fentanyl, U-47700, many of them are regarded as simply not as enjoyable, mostly used by existing addicts too deep to seek pleasure but rather withdrawal’s relief.
Buprenorphine isn’t one of those drugs some would commend like heroin. It is to stop those urges had from withdrawal. The naloxone isn’t actually active through the prescribed route, but rather by injection only – in order to dissuade users from injecting the Suboxone.
