Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, is primarily used to treat opioid dependence but can also provide pain relief in some cases. Buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, binds to opioid receptors to reduce pain while minimizing the risk of misuse and respiratory depression. However, Suboxone is not FDA-approved specifically for pain management and may not be as effective as traditional opioids for severe pain. It can help patients with both opioid addiction and chronic pain by offering steady pain control and reducing cravings. Its use for pain should always be supervised by a healthcare professional.
