Which of the following drugs contains buprenorphine?

Suboxone
Oxycodone
Hydrocodone
Aspirin

The correct answer is: Suboxone

Buprenorphine is a medication primarily used for the treatment of opioid addiction and pain management. Suboxone is a combination medication that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. This combination is specifically designed to help people reduce the potential for misuse by blocking the euphoric effects of opioids when misused. The inclusion of naloxone in Suboxone aims to deter misuse by precipitating withdrawal symptoms in individuals who might attempt to inject the medication. This makes it a safer option for individuals undergoing treatment for opioid dependency while still providing the necessary pharmacological support through buprenorphine. Other options listed do not contain buprenorphine. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are both opioid analgesics used for pain management but do not include buprenorphine in their formulations. Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug that does not contain any opioids or buprenorphine. Therefore, Suboxone is the correct choice as it specifically contains buprenorphine, fulfilling its role in addiction treatment.
