Buprenorphine-Naloxone combination

Buprenorphine-Naloxone is a combination medication used to treat opioid dependence. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without creating the same intense high as other opioids. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks opioid effects; if the medication is misused by injection, Naloxone can cause withdrawal symptoms to deter abuse. Taken as prescribed, the combination stabilizes brain chemistry, helps manage cravings, and supports recovery from opioid addiction, reducing the risk of overdose and aiding long-term treatment.
