How Long Does Suboxone Stay In Our System?
Question: if a person takes suboxone 8mg for 2 days, how long does it stay in his system?
Brief Answer:
Suboxone components might stay in the system for 7 to 10 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. It comes in many strengths like 8 mg/ 2 mg or 2 mg/ 0.5 mg.
The elimination half life of buprenorphine is 24 to 42 hours and naloxone is 2 to 12 hours. In this manner the buprenorphine stays for a longer time in the system for about a little over a week as compared to naloxone which is eliminated in 3 days.
In conclusion, the answer to your query is that suboxone components will stay in the system for 7 to 10 days before it is almost completely eliminated.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
