What is Suboxone

Suboxone have 2 components, buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opiate agonist. Buprenorphine can either activate or block opoid receptors. It is used to reduce unpleasant withdrawal effects people have when they stop using opioid drugs such as heroin. Naloxone is used to counter the effects of overdosing on opioids and is an opioid receptor competitive antagonist. Its fast blocking of those receptors often produces rapid onset of withdrawal symptoms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Suboxone for the purpose of opiate detoxification.
