General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Norco is composed of 'Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen'. It is indicated for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain.

Subutex is composed of 'Buprenorphine', which is an opioid used to treat opioid addiction, acute pain, and chronic pain. The interaction between Norco and Subutex is found to be major. These medicines may cause some risk when taken together.

It might cause central nervous system depression and respiratory distress. Kindly seek medical attention promptly if you experience unusual symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
