So I just read that buprenorphine acts as a voltage gated NA channel blocker. This action is what causes cocaine's cardiotoxic effect primarily & also it's strong numbing effect. Would taking it daily long term cause damage to the heart? I'm not sure how powerful of a VGSCB it is. Perhaps I should dissolve it & rub some on my lips & skin to find out, don't feel like wasting one right now though those things are pretty valuable. I doubt it's really bad for you but I don't know.
I'm just asking because heart complications are the leading cause of death in humans (at least in the U.S.). I'd rather not die of a heart attack, preferably I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep or doing something heroic. I just found out my dad has an enlarged heart & my uncle who was like 45ish recently died of heart disease so I'm a little worried & want to keep my heart healthy.
Are opioids in general bad for your heart? I heard that somewhere, she said opioids are toxic to the heart because they lower blood pressure while increasing heart rate. I take what she said with a grain of salt because she said weed is also cardiotoxic & she is an addiction counseler.
... By the way does bupe block endorphines?
