Allergies are needed to be acknowledged!
 

Giving buprenorphine to pain patients and animals but not the ones allergic to suboxone.. Don't you know subutex was MADE FOR ADDICTION not for pain not for animals none of that however it helps but don't ignore the reason why it was made and it legally is FDA approved FOR ADDICTION!! You can abuse anything.. I'm wondering if the plan was to start a heroin epidemic here a bigger one because I'm not sure how taking away an addicts addiction medicine solves anything.. As the board of medicine you should know that not everyone is the same, not everyone can tolerate naloxone! Go after the pain drs overprescribing to these "pain patients" which we all know half of them don't need hard medications like that and keep in mind THATS what got the addicts to need addiction medicine to begin with.. A good amount do not start out on heroin, in fact I've never met one who did it all started with the oxys, morphine, percocets you know thepharmaceuticals!
