Allow patient's with a documented allergy to continue to be prescribed Subutex.
 
My husband is allergic to nalaxone when he first started taking suboxone he woke up in the middle of the night with a severe reaction. He broke out in hives, and he swelled up. Why is it because his body doesn't agree with a medication is he being punished? You want to help addicts. All you are doing is hurting them. People are losing there doctor. God forbid something happens to someone you will have one help of a lawsuit. This is a joke and the sad thing is you are playing with so many people's lives. What if it was your brother, mother, father, sister? Would you have thought more about what you are doing to addicts?
