Hello, Lil Miss! How are you?

No, Subutex only contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine.

However, Buprenorphine does tend to take a stronger hold on the opiate receptors in the brain, thus it could still cause other opiates to not work, or cause some withdrawal effects in some people that are already taking them. So, it shouldn't be taken, without the approval of a doctor and following their instructions.

The FDA classifies this medication as being an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
