Interesting fact: the counter measure (naloxone) in subutex is useless. Bupe binds infinitely more than naloxone does to your opiate receptors, and the dose of naloxone is so low that it can't compete anyway.

Even the claims that the naloxone is to deter injection of the drug is suspect at best. It's most likely that this new combination was simply an easy way to get approval and obtain a patent.
