Subutex

Subutex is a prescription medicine, which is used to treat opioid use (pain drug) disorder. It can be taken in various ways – by placing the tablet under the tongue, or in the cheek, by injecting it, or as a skin patch (sublingual). It may also be given to you for other treatments also, talk to your doctor about this. Subutex is considered a major part of the medical, social, and psychological treatment program for those people who are suffering from opioid use disorder. Its active ingredient contains buprenorphine (as hydrochloride). Drugs like heroin, morphine, oxycodone, or codeine can be replaced with Subutex as it helps in withdrawal with these opioids.

 

How does Subutex work?

Depending on the type of opioid receptor present in the brain, it can act as an agonist, partial agonist, or antagonist. So, it prevents withdrawal symptoms produced by stopping other opioids.

 

Used for

It treats people with opioid use disorder. One should patiently wait for some withdrawal symptoms to show, then only Subutex can bind to the receptors. After that, the dosage is regularly adjusted throughout the treatment.

It may also be used for the treatment of chronic pain. A transdermal patch is available for the same. These patches are prescribed for those kinds of pain that don’t last long.

Subutex can be used for several other reasons also. Talk with your doctor about this.

 

Dosage

Read the prescription usage guide as suggested by your doctor or your pharmacist. Do not take Subutex on your own. Inform your doctor beforehand about any medication or any supplements you are taking, or it can interfere with your normal body metabolism and interact with Subutex.

Place the drug under the tongue for at least 5 to 10 minutes and let it dissolve properly. If more than one tablet has been prescribed, place all of them together or a minimum of two under your tongue for dissolving. Do not chew or swallow them as it may not work well.

You should start taking Subutex after 2 days of stopping other opioids. Avoid misusing it as it may not help with your present condition. Subutex along with certain other drugs can be used as a maintenance treatment.

The medication works well when taken with the first signs of opioid withdrawal. If started too soon, can cause severe side effects.

You should begin with the lowest effective dosage so that the drug adjusts with your body. Also, do not suddenly stop taking the medication because sudden discontinuation of Subutex can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.

You should take this drug at strict regular intervals for maximum benefits. If you miss a single dose, it can cause a reversal of the treatment.

After you take Subutex for a longer period, your body may become used to the drug or it may not work well. Your doctor may increase or decrease your dosage to reduce your discomfort.

Inform your doctor if you are not getting better or it becomes worse.

 

Side effects

Common side effects include nausea, drowsiness, headache, or constipation. Seek medical help if problems persist for long. Get up slowly if you feel dizzy or lightheaded. Eat dietary fibers to prevent constipation.

If abused, injected, or mixed with other opioids or depressants, can cause severe breathing problems.

Serious side effects include mental/mood changes, abdominal pain, weight loss , and interrupted breathing during sleep. The most severe of them is respiratory depression. It occurs when Subutex is taken along with alcohol.

Withdrawal may occur if stopped abruptly, and symptoms may include diarrhea, muscle stiffness/shakiness, or irritability. Notify your doctor right away about the changes you feel.
