What does the drug Subutex 8mg do?
Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called mixed opioid agonist-antagonists. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids. It is used as part of a complete treatment program for drug abuse (such as compliance monitoring, counseling, behavioral contract, lifestyle changes).
Is Subutex 8mg the same as methadone?
Methadone is a full opioid medication that binds tightly to opioid receptors and has a wide range of effects that increase as the dose increases. On the other hand, Subutex is a partial opioid, and although it binds to receptors in the brain, it does not have the same potency as methadone.
