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
Naloxone is a competitive antagonist. That’s fancy for it is fighting buprenorphine for the same receptor sites, it is just way better at getting them. Naloxone (Narcan) is essentially a much better version of buprenorphine, but it doesn’t get you high.
