Which of the following formulations is NOT associated with Buprenorphine?

  1. Subutex

  2. Suboxone

  3. Adderall

  4. Temgesic

The correct answer is: Adderall

Buprenorphine is a medication primarily used to treat opioid addiction and pain. It exists in various formulations, but Adderall is not one of them. Subutex is a formulation that contains buprenorphine alone, while Suboxone combines buprenorphine with naloxone to help prevent misuse. Temgesic is another formulation that includes buprenorphine, specifically for pain management. Adderall, on the other hand, is a brand name for a combination of amphetamine salts and is used primarily to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is not associated with buprenorphine and does not share the same therapeutic uses. This distinction is key to understanding why the formulation associated with Adderall does not relate to buprenorphine.
