Consumers Who Used Suboxone® Before Experiencing Tooth Injury, Tooth Damage, Gum Injuries, Or Oral Surgery May Be Eligible For Compensation

A product liability lawsuit has been filed against the manufacturers of Suboxone®, alleging that the drug's acidity led to tooth decay and permanent dental damage. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against:
  • Indivior
  • Aquestive Therapeutics
  • MonoSol Rx
  • Beckitt Benckiser

Suboxone® is a medication used for treating opioid use disorder by managing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings. It is typically taken orally as a tablet or film, affecting salivary flow and oral pH due to its high acidity, which can have immunosuppressive effects.

The consumer who was prescribed Suboxone® claims to have suffered permanent tooth decay and required extensive dental work due to the medication. The consumer is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, along with attorney fees.

According to the lawsuit, the defendants were aware or should have been aware that Suboxone®, when used as directed, could harm teeth due to the acidity of buprenorphine.

The lawsuit asserts that Indivior knew about the risk of tooth decay associated with Suboxone® well before the FDA issued a warning in 2022. In 2010, the manufacturer reported nearly 20 cases of dental issues in patients using Suboxone® to the FDA.

Our Team believes all consumers who use Suboxone® before experiencing tooth injury, tooth damage, gum injuries, or oral surgery should receive justice and potential compensation for pain and suffering.
