Can suboxone contain naloxone?

13 doctors weighed in across 4 answers

It does: Suboxone is a combination of Buprenorphine and naloxone, which is an opiate blocker that takes effect if used intranasally or intravenously. The Naloxone is not absorbed via the sublingual route- under the tongue, which is as intended with suboxone. Suboxone providers are afraid that if too much ends up on the street, it could be further restricted. If you take it without a rx, please get one.

It does: Suboxone is a combination of 2 medications: Buprenorphine and naloxone. The Naloxone does not enter the blood stream if it is taken as directed (under the tongue). It will only become activated and take effect if one snorts/sniff or injects the suboxone. It is put there in the first place to help reduce the black-market demand.
