Dear Verwon, I now understand the difference b tween them. But why would one doctor use one over the other? Can people still feel the effects of opiates on subtext, b cause it doesn't have the blocker? If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Thank you!

If someone is prescribed 8mg Subutex pills and someone else prescribed 8mg-2 mg Suboxene pills, they both have the same amount of buphenephine in them? Or is Subutex stronger than Suboxene?

Hello, Cats68! How are you?

Subutex contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine, but Suboxone couples it with Naloxone to prevent the abuse of other narcotics, while someone is being treated with it. Thus, that also explains why some doctors prefer one over the other.

This is a narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
