Back to regarding analgesic

[Guest guest]

Dear Karin,

Suboxone (trade) may have come on the market a few years ago. I am not

familiar with that name. But the generic name 'buphenorphine' looks

way too familiar. I thought this had been on the trade/generic test at

the school I teach at when I first got there in 1999 and I took it off

the test because it was hardly used and at that time I needed to

update with more fast movers on the test.

BUT NOW I looked up what I am thinking of and the CORRECT spelling in

my 2002 hardback Facts and Comparisons says:

BUPRENORPHINE HCl is Buprenex Class V, the spelling is similar to what

you spelled yet different. The 'h' in the way you spell the drug you

refer to is an 'r' in the drug that I refer to.

I am starring at the correct spelling in my F/C of the drug I am

thinking of . This drug is a centrally acting analgesic derrived from

thebaine and is a synthetic opioid analgesic (fits in the mu receptor).

This drug was on the market when I was still teching back in l995

(been teaching since then). It comes in an ampule for injection. I am

wondering if the Suboxone is oral tab?

Curiously,

PS for those folowing this thread: I mis-typed the word in my previous

post with an 'i' before it. that was a mistake a typo. Also if you

get a 'duplicate' of this email it is because I mistyped/typo and

left out the second 'p'.
