Da indholdet af naloxon i kombinationstabletten fremskynder abstinenser hos personer, som er afhængige af heroin, metadon eller andre fulde agonister, er det mindre sandsynligt at Suboxone vil finde vej til et illegalt marked for intravenøs brug.
Because the naloxone in the combination tablet precipitated withdrawal in individuals dependent on heroin, methadone, or other full agonists, Suboxone is expected to be less likely to be diverted for intravenous use.
