Subutex

Description

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that is an active ingredient in both Suboxone and Subutex. Buprenorphine is primarily used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD).

As a partial opioid agonist, buprenorphine causes moderate receptor site activity without eliciting euphoria in opioid-dependent patients. This action prevents withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings for opioid drugs like heroin and prescription painkillers.
