Suboxone gets its own MeSH heading!

And huzzah say I!

But, to get all that you can,

"Buprenorphine, Naloxone Drug Combination"[Mesh] OR ("Buprenorphine"[Mesh] AND "Naloxone"[Mesh]) OR suboxone*[tiab] OR bunavail*[tiab] OR zubsolv*[tiab] OR "buprenorphine naloxone"[tiab] OR "bup nal"[tiab] OR "bup nlx"[tiab] OR "bup nx"[tiab] OR "bnx"[tiab]

Note the asterisk after the suboxone keyword. This is important because some articles put the TradeMark symbol at the end of Suboxone, and this way you'll catch those as well.

What's really annoying is all the variant abbreviations that they use for this. I mean, seriously, check out this list:

• BUP-NAL
• BUP-NLX
• BUP-NX
• BPN-NAL
• BPN-NLX
• BPN-NX
• BNX

And that's not even mentioning the whitespace character variants, which fortunately the databases will ignore for you. However, if you are highlighting in Word, you'll want to replace the - with a / and then a +. As in, BUP/NAL and BUP+NAL.

In fact, I'm wondering if, when highlighting in Word, it might be faster to do: BUP-, BUP/, BUP+, -NAL, /NAL, +NAL, BPN-, etc... - That's 5 abbreviations times 3 whitespace characters for a total of 15 Find/replaces. Whereas the other way it's 6 combinations times 3 whitespace characters for a total of 18 Find/replaces. Plus, if some daft nutter has come up with another variant, you stand a chance of finding it by one or the other half of the combo.

EMBASE:

exp buprenorphine plus naloxone/ became an EMTREE heading in 2006.
