About

Suboxone is a medication used to treat opioid dependence. It is a combination of two drugs: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that binds to the same receptors in the brain as opioids, but it produces a weaker effect.

Suboxone is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults who are pregnant or not pregnant. It is used to manage withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and the risk of overdose. Suboxone can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes behavioral therapy, counseling, and other support services.
