What is Buprenorphine?

Buprenorphine is a treatment drug used to alleviate heroin and methadone addictions. It is classified as an opioid partial agonist.

When ingested, the drug causes slight respiratory depression and euphoria. However, these effects are practically minimal compared to those from heroin and methadone. The latter two drugs are more likely to cause respiratory depression leading to death. Put simply, buprenorphine is far safer.

Unfortunately, the euphoric side effect may cause an overdependence leading to another addiction all its own. To make matters worse, buprenorphine is easier, and legal, to acquire.

When taken in prescribed doses, buprenorphine is a safe drug. When the dosage is exceeded, however, overdose and death can occur.

After consumption, the drug becomes detectable via urinalysis in 40 minutes. Buprenorphine may stay in the body’s system for up to 2 weeks.
