Title: Targin (Oxycodone + Naloxone) ... Opiophobia ?
Post by: Chip on May 16, 2016, 02:39:17 PM

I came across this combination therapy.

why do they put Naloxone in with Oxycodone ?

I thought it would cancel out the Oxy or is that when injected, perhaps ?

When injected/sniffed.  Naloxone isnt very active orally

I think in theory people believe that people who abuse there medication are ONLY injecting/insufflating

its just another silly fad that wont last.

thanks guys ... there may not be many people on our cosy site here but answers to questions still come very quickly.

you see, a friend has bouts of chronic back pain and is reluctant to take this pain killer as he is prescribed the T(ri)C(yclic)A(ntideppresant.), Endep. ... anyhow - he has opiophobia for some valid, deeply personal reasons.

yes, opiophobia exists.

@chipper I really get the way your friend
Having opio phobia
Look at the social implications of consuming them

Its just another fail of using a naloxone combination drug just like suboxone.  Oxy works best orally, so youd be fine to just orally take multiple pills instead of sniffing/iving them.

Not to mention the 14 year patent in the U.S. (and our free trade partners)
And with all the money being thrown at "opioid addiction" (OPIOIDS ARE FUCKING ENDOGENOUS)
im not the least bit surprised

There is also a morphine/naloxone coming to market
Remember the days when a morphine/oxycodone pill was almost a reality?
Those days are LONG gone
