Suboxone is a medication prescribed by a physician that is known as a partial opioid agonist. You may also have heard this medication called Buprenex, Butrans, Probuphine, or Belbuca. This medication contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone which are its two main active ingredients.
The first ingredient, Buprenorphine, acts as the partial opiate agonist which is responsible for blocking the effects of other opioid drugs. If you take other opiate narcotics while taking buprenorphine, you will probably not experience any euphoric effects of the drugs.
The second ingredient, Naloxone is used to treat opiate overdoses and also blocks the effects of these drugs. This medication assisted drug therapy has been proven extremely useful to many individuals and has been credited for helping thousands of people stay off of heroin and other prescription opioid medications.
