Hello and hope you are doing well.

Suboxone is buprenorphine and naloxone is indicated for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence and therapy is done in a phased manner. So, you will have to consult your doctor at the suboxone clinic for proper guidance. It can be taken as tablets or sublingual film.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
