Buprenorphine use in Texas
History
Buprenorphine is a derivative of thebaine and an opiate that’s FDA
approved. The dependence on this drug is severe and it leads to serious
withdrawal symptoms. Buprenorphine in the United States is marketed as
parenteral analgesic Buprenex. Buprenorphine reacts slowly as compared to
other drugs. This analgesic drug is usually taken sublingually.
FDA approved Subutex, is a buprenorphine/naloxone combination product and
Suboxone is taken as a medication for treating opioid addiction. Subutex
and Suboxone are the first narcotic drugs that are openly available under
the US Drug Act (DATA) of 2003. US physicians prescribe Subutex and
Suboxone for the treatment of opiate dependence.
Records show that Buprenorphine has mistreatment potential and may induce
dependency. Numerous deaths have been recorded due to overdose of
intravenously injected Buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is metabolized
primarily by n-dealkylation to form Glucuronide-Buprenorphine and
Glucuronide-norbuprenorphine.
