Suboxone A New Alternative To Methadone Treatments
by Government Education And Business Directories Government Education and Business Directories AustThere will be a new publicly funded treatment to treat
opiate dependents, so methadone will no longer be the only alternative for
these patients.
This decision of the General Directorate of Pharmacy (DGF)
to provide this public funding through the National Health System (SNS) has
been very well received by Socidrogalcohol, the Spanish Society of Dual
Pathology and the Spanish Society of Drug Addiction.
This new drug is marketed under the name Suboxone and is a
combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This drug is really nothing new
because it was already approved in 2008, but the lack of public funding made it
practically inaccessible.
Among the advantages that Suboxone offers are its ease of
taking and above all that it does not offer overdose risks. Suboxone offers
great safety for patients since it is an oral drug with a "ceiling
effect", which means that a higher dose does not produce a greater effect
in the patient.
This treatment also favors the social integration of people
addicted to heroin since when dispensed in pharmacies, like medicines for other
people, and allows them to have the treatment for several days instead of
having to go daily to take your dose of methadone.
