[Fwd: Re: [PLS-FRIENDS] LDN]

[Guest guest]

Hi .. It will not serve as LDN at all ... Suboxone is FDA

approved to treat drug addicts. Suboxone offers a combination of a

weak narcotic (buprenorphine) and a narcotic antagonist (naloxone).

The latter is added to prevent addicts from injecting the tablets

intravenously, as has happened with tablets only containing

buprenorphine; because it contains naloxone, Suboxone is highly

likely to produce intense withdrawal symptoms if misused

intravenously by opioid-addicted individuals.

Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor and an

antagonist at the kappaopioid receptor. Naloxone is an antagonist at

the mu-opioid receptor.

All the Best
