, Buprenorphine is combined with Naloxone in oral C. Abuse potential
formulations to reduce which of the following
a. cravings Buprenorphine + Naloxone = suboxone
b. side effects
c. abuse potential Buprenorphine is a partial agonist (thus can cause immediate withdrawal in a pt
d. drug interactions currently taking opioids but can relieve withdrawal if a pt is already
e. lethality in overdose experiencing it) and an antagonist at the kappa opioid receptor
Naloxone is a mu receptor antagonist and can therefore block the effects of
buprenorphine but because it has poor sublingual bioavailability, it does not
interfere with buprenorphine's effects when used properly as it does have
good parenteral bioavailability
Thus if one tries to administer suboxone IV, naloxone will prevent any
rewarding effects from buprenorphine
