Suboxone isn't just one drug but a combination of two. Its active ingredients are buprenorphine and naloxone. Together, these Suboxone ingredients help people with opioid use disorder manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Suboxone comes in several forms and dosages, including generic white Suboxone pills. It is important to note that you should never purchase counterfeit Suboxone on the street or online. Always consult with your provider to determine the right strength for you, and be certain to obtain Suboxone with a valid prescription from a qualified provider.

Is There a White Suboxone Pill?

While Suboxone pills are typically orange, there are generic versions of the medication that are white. Some people may refer to these generics as white Suboxone pills, although they are not manufactured under the Suboxone brand. These generic pills contain the same 4:1 ratio of buprenorphine to naloxone as brand name Suboxone pills. Instead of orange and hexagonal, generic Suboxone pills are usually white and circular. Below are some of the generic Suboxone pills on the market. Although you may come across images of other generic white Suboxone pills online, many of them have since been discontinued.

Other FAQs About White Suboxone Pills

What are the different types of Suboxone?

There are two different forms of Suboxone: pills or tablets and films or strips. Suboxone films are orange and rectangular, whether they are the Suboxone brand or a generic version. Your provider can help determine which form of Suboxone is best for you. 

What are the other colors of Suboxone pills?

Suboxone pills come in several different colors. Brand name Suboxone pills are orange and hexagonal. Some of the generic versions also come in an orange, peach, or pinkish color.

What milligram is a white Suboxone pill?

Generic white Suboxone pills come in various strengths just like the brand name pills. The ratio is still 4:1 buprenorphine to naloxone, just as in brand name Suboxone. The main difference you will notice between Suboxone pills and films is the dosage availability. Both the generic white Suboxone pills and brand name tablets come in two dosages: 2 mg of buprenorphine to 0.5 mg of naloxone and 8 mg of buprenorphine to 2 mg of naloxone. Suboxone films are also available in 4 mg of buprenorphine to 1 mg of naloxone and 12 mg of buprenorphine to 3 mg of naloxone. Your provider will determine which dosage is suitable for your needs. Always be sure to follow the instructions for your prescribed dosage.
