Buprenorphine is a synthetic opiate with agonist/antagonist properties. In a sense it means if you were taking traditioniol opoids, ie: Norco,for an extended period of time and you took Buph you could be sent into immeditate withdrawl from the Norco.
I had had it perscribed in the past under the brand name Buprenex for the treatment of cronic pain. It is a narcotic pain reliever for moderate to severe pain. Plus as stated above , cannot be taken with traditional opoids.
Today it is currently used for the treatment of opiate withdrawl. It goes under the brand mane Subtex and Suboxone. Thats probaly why you had trouble researching it. It come in sublinguil form and helps with the withdrawl symtoms. It used to be an FDA Class V drug but has since been changed to class III. Only Doctors trained in the dispensing and treatment of opoid withdrawl are allowed to prescibe it.
I thought it was a wonderful medication for cronic pain because it lasted long, had very little tolerence build up and was very easy to come off of.
I know this is a lengthy post and I apologize. Because I had taken it before I found it very difficult to explain it in a short manner. I hope this info helps. Thank you for youre time and consideration.
Best Regards,
Hoop
