Suboxone (generic: buprenorphine/naloxone) is a prescription medication used to treat adults who are addicted to opioid (narcotic) drugs. Suboxone is a single film containing 2 drugs, buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine belongs to a group of drugs called opioid (narcotic) partial agonists, and naloxone belongs to a group of drugs called opioid antagonists that reverse the effects of opioid medications. Together these drugs prevent withdrawal symptoms when people stop taking opioid (narcotic) drugs.

This medication comes in the form of sublingual film to be dissolved under the tongue, once daily.

Common side effects of Suboxone include nausea, vomiting, headaches, and sweating.
