Hi,
I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your question I may say it is used for the withdrawal symptoms by opioids. It does not contain any opiods in it. It can also cause dependence and a withdrawal syndrome on abrupt discontinuation although this is typically milder than that seen with full agonists.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
