What is Suboxone & How to Get a Prescription Online?

Starting your journey to overcome opioid addiction is a vital step in recovery, but finding the proper treatment and having access to this can sometimes feel overwhelming. Fortunately, Suboxone, an FDA-approved medication designed to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, can ease this process. At eHealth, with telemedicine, acquiring a Suboxone prescription online is a breeze because it can be done from the comfort of your own home.

Below is a guide on Suboxone and how to get this prescription online:

What Is Suboxone and How Does It Work?

Suboxone is a medication used specifically to treat opioid addiction. It combines two active ingredients, Buprenorphine to ease withdrawal, and Naloxone to prevent abuse:

1. Buprenorphine: This is a partial opioid agonist, which means it activates opioid receptors in the brain but not as strongly as full opioids like heroin or oxycodone. It helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms by partially stimulating these receptors, but it does not produce the same intense euphoria, making it less likely to be abused.

2. Naloxone: This is an opioid antagonist. It blocks opioid receptors and is included in Suboxone to deter misuse. If someone tries to inject Suboxone to get high, naloxone will block the effects of other opioids, potentially causing withdrawal symptoms. When taken as prescribed, naloxone has little effect because it’s not absorbed in significant amounts through the oral mucosa.

Suboxone is usually administered as a film or tablet placed under the tongue. It helps stabilize individuals who are trying to overcome opioid dependence by easing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings while minimizing the risk of misuse compared to full agonist opioids.
