It's the same drug. Subutex does not have the added ingredient in it to prevent injection, for IV drug users.....I think. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I understood from the doctor that prescribed mine. They are both buprenorphine, which is the only way in my opinion to prevent W/Ds when you stop taking hydro, oxy, morphine, heroin, etc. I've heard of many different addictions being treated with this one drug.
I was also informed by the doctor that prescribed it to me that it is an opiate and has pain relieving qualities. After you taper down to a low dose of the buprenorphine you can stay on that low dose for pain control.
As stated, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm going by memory and believe me, my mind was very fuzzy when I was given my first dose of Suboxone and listening to him explain all this to me. I hope I'm not telling anyone wrong information.
