Is It Safe To Have Subutex Along With Hydromorphone?
Question: cyst on my S1 nerve and and taking Subutexthe doctor gave me hydromorphone for breakthrough pain. Will this Subutex cancel out the effects of the other narcs
Brief Answer:
No,Subutex won't cancel out the effects of other narcs...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Subutex is containing the active ingredient called Buprenorphine.
Both Subutex and Hydromorphone belongs to narcotic-analgesic drug class. They are both effective in reducing the pain. Subutex won't cancel out the effects of other narcs.
When it comes to pain associated with problems with vertebral spine, I advise to discuss with your neurologist to add pregabalin or gabapentin (as advised by the other colleague) to your actual therapy in order to get appropriate pain-relief.
Hope it was of help!
