Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a prescription medication that’s available as sublingual tablets and strips/films. The tablets are orange, hexagonal, and imprinted with N2, N8, or B8. The individually packaged strips/films are orange, rectangular, and imprinted with N2, N4, N8, or N12. Suboxone is a brand-name prescription pain medication containing a combination of the opioid antagonist naloxone with the partial opioid agonist buprenorphine.When taken, the active ingredient buprenorphine binds to opioid receptors and acts like an opioid drug. However, it produces far weaker effects than true opioids and can even blunt and interfere with the action of stronger opioids if both are taken together.In this way, the medication can help relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms for those dealing with opiate/opioid dependence.What Do Suboxone Pills (Sublingual Tablets) Look Like?Suboxone sublingual tablets are produced as uncoated orange hexagons and are imprinted with a sword and either “N2” or “B2” (2 mg buprenorphine, .5 mg naloxone), or “N8” or “B8” (8 mg buprenorphine, 2 mg naloxone).The sublingual tablet should be placed under the tongue until fully dissolved, with different tablets placed simultaneously in different positions under the tongue. Once dissolved, you should not brush your teeth for one hour, though you should rinse your mouth with water and swallow.Suboxone tablets should not be crushed, chewed, or swallowed, and you should not eat or drink anything until they have been fully dissolved.What Do Suboxone Strips (Sublingual Films) Look Like?Suboxone films are orange, rectangular films printed with white logos that identify the strip’s dosage. “N2” indicates 2 mg buprenorphine, “N4” is 4 mg, “N8” is 8 mg, and “N12” is 12 mg.These films are individually packaged with the Suboxone logo prominently displayed in white and blue.To use a Suboxone strip, you should unwrap and take one of the films by the corners and place it under the tongue. Then wait until the strip is fully dissolved before taking a drink of water, swishing it several times through your teeth, and swallowing.You should not swallow Suboxone films or eat or drink anything either while they are dissolving or in the thirty-minute period after you’ve taken your medication.What Does
