It’s important for your healthcare providers to have a full understanding of your health in order to provide you the most appropriate medical treatment—this includes knowing that you take buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone). All medications have potential side effects and interactions with other medications, so it’s important for your providers to consider potential medication interactions with buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone). Further, buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is metabolized primarily by the liver, which is important for your medical providers to know and consider in all aspects of your health.
