How Long Does Suboxone Stay In The Body?

Posted on Tue, 2 Aug 2016

Question: i used a small amount of suboxne over 60 days ago i ingested the fluid from my anal during anal sex can this make me fail a drug test

Answered by Dr. Bonnie Berger-Durnbaugh (23 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
The suboxone will not show up on or cause you to fail a drug test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

If you ingested (orally) the suboxone over 60 days ago, it should be out of your system now.

The half life of suboxone is 24 - 60 hours on average. This means that in that amount of time, only half of the drug remains. And then in 60 more hours, only half of that remaining amount (i.e. a quarter of the original) remains. And so on. So it will be well out of your system by 60 days.

Please let me know if I can provide further information.

is suboxone water sellubule

Answered by Dr. Bonnie Berger-Durnbaugh (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Partially water soluble.

Detailed Answer:
Suboxone is partially water soluble. Suboxone is made of two drugs - buprenorphine and naloxone. The naloxone is the drug that blocks the effects of opiates and is water soluble. The buprenorphine part is not water soluble.

so is the buprenorphine what shows up in a drug test, and how long does like 1mg take to get out of your system

Answered by Dr. Bonnie Berger-Durnbaugh (53 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Information.

Detailed Answer:
It would take 3-5 days after the last dose. So you don't have to worry - it is out of your system.

I would like to discourage you from using suboxone in your rectum in the future. If you feel you need to use this, it would be best to see an addiction specialist doctor to help you stop. But it sounds like you are no longer using so that is good.

is it possible to reenter the soboxone into your system without actually doing it by like what i did ingesting my anal fluids.

Answered by Dr. Bonnie Berger-Durnbaugh (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Your question about suboxone.

Detailed Answer:
No, because it would only be trace amounts, if at all. Your body would have broken it down. And then even if there were any in your secretions, which I doubt, your body would break it down further. So no need to worry.
