buprenorphine-naloxone
This medicine comprises of two drugs: buprenorphine and naloxone. It is prescribed for the management of opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine belongs to a category of medications known as mixed opioid agonist-antagonists. Its purpose is to alleviate withdrawal symptoms that arise from discontinuing the use of other opioids. Naloxone, on the other hand, acts as an opioid antagonist by blocking the effects of opioids. When administered through injection, it can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms related to opioids; however, its impact is limited when taken orally or dissolved under the tongue.
The combination of buprenorphine and naloxone serves a dual purpose - preventing abuse and misuse (specifically injection) while treating patients with this medication. This particular combination medication forms part of a comprehensive treatment program for individuals dealing with opioid use disorder which includes compliance monitoring, counseling sessions, behavioral contracts, and lifestyle adjustments.
It is advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding whether you should have alternative forms of naloxone readily available in case there is an occurrence of an opioid overdose. Additionally, it would be beneficial to educate your family members or those within your household about the warning signs associated with an opioid overdose as well as how to respond appropriately in such situations.
