What Is Suboxone?
Suboxone (a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone) was developed as a medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction. It was supposed to be a safer alternative to methadone, allowing people to transition off opioids without experiencing extreme withdrawal symptoms.
What they didn’t tell patients? Prolonged use of Suboxone could cause permanent damage, especially to teeth and gums, leading to costly medical bills and unnecessary suffering.
Dangerous Side Effects and Health Risks of Suboxone
Patients were led to believe Suboxone was safe for long-term use, but many have experienced devastating health issues, including:
- Severe tooth decay and loss: Suboxone can erode enamel, leading to sudden and severe dental problems.
- Gum disease and infections: Users report painful abscesses and gum deterioration requiring surgery.
- Bone loss and jaw deterioration: In extreme cases, Suboxone users have suffered serious structural damage to their jaw and facial bones.
- Painful withdrawal symptoms: Quitting Suboxone can result in severe withdrawal symptoms, including extreme nausea, anxiety, muscle pain, and insomnia.
- Liver damage: Long-term use has been linked to liver damage due to the buprenorphine it contains, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.
These side effects aren’t rare. They’re happening to thousands of people who trusted this drug.
Who Is Eligible to File a Suboxone Lawsuit?
If you took Suboxone and suffered severe dental damage, painful withdrawals, or other major health issues, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Specifically, you may qualify if:
- You developed tooth decay, gum disease, or significant dental damage after using Suboxone.
- You required expensive dental work, extractions, or implants due to Suboxone-related damage.
- You suffered withdrawal symptoms worse than expected when trying to stop using Suboxone.
- You developed liver problems or other health complications after prolonged use.
If any of these apply to you, you could be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.
