Uses
Subutex is a brand name for buprenorphine, a medication primarily used to treat opioid dependence. It is a partial opioid agonist, which means it can activate opioid receptors in the brain, but to a much lesser extent than full agonists like heroin or methadone. This property helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the intense euphoria associated with opioid abuse. Subutex is typically part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes counseling and support.


Dosage
The dosage of Subutex varies depending on the patient's level of opioid dependence, medical history, and response to the treatment. A typical induction dose might start at 2-4 mg under the tongue, with subsequent doses adjusted based on the patient's withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Maintenance doses can range from 8-16 mg per day, though some patients may require higher doses.
