What are the uses of this product?
What are Active Ingredients of this product?
- BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE .3 mg/mL - A derivative of the opioid alkaloid THEBAINE that is a more potent and longer lasting analgesic than MORPHINE. It appears to act as a partial agonist at mu and kappa opioid receptors and as an antagonist at delta receptors. The lack of delta-agonist activity has been suggested to account for the observation that buprenorphine tolerance may not develop with chronic use.
