Is suboxone on opiate?
Suboxoneâ„¢ is the brand name for a prescription medication containing two drugs, one of which is an opiate and the other an opiate antagonist (a compound that occupies the same receptor sites as an opiate without causing any of the effects of an opiate).The opiate in Suboxone is buprenorphine hydrochloride, and the anti-opiate, technically called an opiate antagonist or an opioid antagonist, is naloxone hydrochloride dihydrate. Don't worry about the "hydrochloride" or the "dihydrate" names. They are only artifacts of how the drugs are chemically separated from impurities when the drugs are manufactured. Regardless of the strength of the medication prescribed, the amount of buprenorphine relative to the amount of naloxone is 4:1.You may know that Suboxone is not used to treat pain; it is used to treat opiate dependence, and that is part of the reason that it contains naloxone. Naloxone is the antidote for opiate overdose. It is given to an opiate overdose patient by injection only for two reasons: 1) An overdose patient needs the antidote in his system as soon as possible. 2) When it is taken orally, only about a measly 3% of the naloxone ends up in the patient's blood. The remaining 97% is destroyed by the liver.Suboxone is supposed to only be taken sublingually (placed under the tongue). When taken that way, almost all of the opiate and naloxone gets into the patient's bloodstream. In other words, the bioavailabilities of the drugs are nearly 100%. However, if the thin film were swallowed instead, most of the opiate would get to his bloodstream while only about 3% of the naloxone would be bioavailable.
Are narcotic pain contracts legal and when a patient refuses to agree can a physician stop established narcotic pain management therapy knowing it will has caused harm to the patient?
Opiate agreement contracts are not typically legal contracts. They are a means to establish boundaries between you and your physician. Depending upon the state, your physician may dismiss you for no reason. Opiate withdrawal is not always harmful. Typically a trained qualified pain physician will try to wean you from opiate medications depending upon how egregious the opiate violation may have been. If the physician cannot get good information from the patient on current medication ingestion, this can be difficult. Of course death from opiate overdose is always more harmful than surviving withdrawal.
How opiate is been administered?
There are several ways an opiate may be introduced into a patient's body:The most common way is by ingestion, usually by swallowing a tablet or a capsule, but sometimes an aqueous solution of the opiate is drunk.Some opiates enter a patient's bloodstream by being absorbed from a patch worn on the skin. This type of administration is called transdermal absorption.There is another, albeit very similar, way an opiate, is absorbed through an outer layer of cells and into the bloodstream. In this second way, an opiate is absorbed through the nose, cheeks, gums, and, to a lesser degree, the roof of the mouth. The outer layers of these places are mucous membranes, therefore this way of getting an opiate into the blood is called transmucosal absorption.The quickest method is intravenously (IV), a method normally reserved for patients in hospitals or clinics.Opiates may be administered by injection, either subcutaneously (just under the skin), or intramuscularly (directly into the muscle).
Why would a comatose patient regain consciousness after the administration of naloxone?
The comatose patient would regain consciousness after naloxone administration if the patient was comatose in the first place due to an opiate overdose. Naloxone is a competitive antagonist of opioids used to reverse their effect, which includes most notably respiratory depression.
