Buprenorphine Vs Buprenorphin
(Newest replies first)

I am dreaming out. I have been on buprenorphine/naloxone for a few years. A brief interlude with the "Roxanne" brand (doctor said it was b/c of the surgery I had last year). Found myself in the east coast due to a family emergency and my script ran out. The doctor here prescribed buprenorphine and was fully aware I needed suboxone. Went to fill it at CVS and instead of the orange tablets which I quite like and works very well I was given as mentioned and the pill is white with an M and underneath that it has (I think) 924. Is this suboxone? Unlike everyone on here I liked the Orange tablets which they still give in California. The films did not work as well for me. I hope I am freaking out for nothing. The 2 seemed to be spelled the same exact for the buprenorphine has an e on the end and my Orange tablets did not. It was just "buprenorphin". Please tell me what is going on!!!!

Hello, Pamela! How are you?

The tablet with the M 924 marking is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 8mgs of Buprenoprhine in a sublingual tablet.

This is a generic for Subutex, rather than Suboxone, since it doesn't contain the Naloxone opiate blocker that is in Suboxone.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

The word was just abbreviated on the prior prescription, but they are both Buprenorphine.

Is there anything else I can help with?
