What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is a prescription medicine used in treating adults who are dependent on opioid drugs. This drug combines Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Buprenorphine is a long-acting partial opioid agonist. Naloxone, on the other hand, temporarily reverses the effects of opioid medications on the brain.
Overall, Suboxone reduces cravings for addictive opioids. Patients who take this prescribed medication may experience pain relief, reduced stress levels, calmness, and overall well-being.
Suboxone, however, is still addictive, being an opioid. Its abuse could lead to severe physical or psychological dependence.
How to Use a Drug Test Strip?
- Remove the drug test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the assay within an hour.
- Next, hold the strip by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.
- Then, holding the strip vertically, dip the test strip in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the strip.
- After the drug test has finished, remove the strip from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.
How to Read Drug Test Strip?
Positive
Only one colored band appears, in the control region ©. No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T)
Negative
Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One brand appears in the control regions © and another band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid
Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problems persist, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
In the workplace
Spending time with different friends, sleepiness, and failing to go to work may indicate opioid use disorder. Testing for Suboxone helps monitor substance use, especially when patients do not report it. Most often, employers use urine tests.
Drug-testing shows employees that the company cares. It also helps secure a safe work environment for all.
At home
People who abuse and are addicted to Suboxone will exhibit similar symptoms to heroin or opioid addiction. Some of these symptoms include stealing prescriptions from family members, “losing” medications to get more drugs, appearing sedated or tired, nausea and vomiting.
Test for Suboxone and let your worries end for your loved ones.

12 Panel Now’s suboxone drug test kit uses the lateral flow assay (LFA) technology.
This paper-based platform has the following qualities:
- detects substances in complex mixtures like urine
- made up of membranes infused with specific chemicals that help pinpoint the presence of specific drugs in pee
All you need to do is to dip the drug test strip into the urine, then wait for a few minutes. This gives the strip enough time to absorb the urine. Then, read the results.
Easy drug testing at a price you can afford!
The Buprenorphine in Suboxone has an exceptionally long elimination half-life compared to other opioids. Even after eight days, an individual might still produce a positive test for Buprenorphine.
Several factors influence how quickly Suboxone flushes out of the system. These include:
- body fat content
- weight and height
- age
- metabolism speed
- amount of the last dose take
- amount of time the abuse has gone on
- liver condition

It is complicated to overdose on Suboxone alone. Suboxone is only a partial opiate receptor agonist, so there is a built-in “ceiling” effect. There is a limit to how much Suboxone can activate the opioid receptors, so there isn’t as significant a risk of slowed breathing than potent opiates such as heroin, Oxycodone, or morphine.
When people overdose on Suboxone, it is almost always because they mix it with sedatives such as benzodiazepines that also slow breathing.
