Thanks, XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
It is better to avoid this combination.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. Naloxone is an special narcotic drug that reverses the effects of other narcotic medicines.
Suboxone is used to treat narcotic (opiate) addiction.
Using buprenorphine together with other medications that cause central nervous system depression such as carisoprodol can lead to serious side effects such as respiratory distress, coma, or even death. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications.
Suboxone has a major interaction with Carisoprodol what means that this combination should be avoided.Dosage reduction of Carisoprosol Buprenorphine, or both and close monitoring should be considered if concomitant use is necessary.
So consult your treating doctor before using Carisoprodol with Suboxone.
Hope my answer has helped.
Let me know if you have further questions.
