Whois & Analysis for suboxone.com

Naloxone, sold under the brandname Narcan among others, is a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose.

Naloxone may be combined within the same pill as an opioid to decrease the risk of misuse.

When given intravenously, it works within two minutes, and when injected into a muscle, it works within five minutes.

The medication may also be used in the nose.

The effects of naloxone last about half an hour to an hour.

Multiple doses may be required, as the duration of action of most opioids is greater than that of naloxone.

Buprenorphine, sold under the brand name Suboxone among others, is an opioid used to treat opioid addiction, moderate acute pain and moderate chronic pain.

The combination buprenorphine/naloxone is also used for opioid addiction.

Buprenorphine/naloxone (trade name Suboxone) is a combination drug formulation of buprenorphine, a μ-opioid receptor (MOR) weak partial agonist and κ-opioid receptor antagonist, and naloxone, a MOR silent antagonist, in a 4:1 ratio.

It is used in the treatment of opioid dependence.

The purpose of naloxone is to deter intravenous abuse; parenteral administration rapidly induces opioid withdrawal symptoms, while regular, intended use does not (as naloxone is minimally bioavailable with sublingual ingestion).

Opioid use disorder is a medical condition characterized by a problematic pattern of opioid use that causes clinically significant impairment or distress.

It often includes a strong desire to use opioids, increased tolerance to opioids, and withdrawal syndrome when opioids are abruptly discontinued.

Addiction and dependence are components of a substance use disorder and addiction represents the most severe form of the disorder.

Opioid dependence can manifest as physical dependence, psychological dependence, or both.
