Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit Allegations

Suboxone lawyers are actively investigating claims that patients who used Suboxone film have suffered significant dental damage, including tooth decay, erosion, and even tooth loss, allegedly due to the product’s acidic formulation and insufficient warnings provided by the manufacturer.

Allegations in the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuit include, but are not limited to:

  • Failure to Warn: Defendants were aware of the dental risks associated with prescription Suboxone film but did not adequately inform patients or healthcare providers.
  • Acidic Formulation Leading to Dental Damage: The design of Suboxone film is inherently acidic, causing dental erosion and decay when dissolved in the mouth.
  • Insufficient Testing and Warnings: The testing conducted on the Suboxone film was inadequate, and the warnings regarding potential dental problems were insufficient.

TruLaw is currently accepting clients for the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuit.

Lawsuit Updates

  • December 2024 Updates:

    December 4, 2024

    Oral arguments for a motion to dismiss over 11,000 Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits are set for December 16.

    Indivior, the manufacturer of Suboxone, contends that federal law preempted its ability to update the drug’s warning labels until June 2022.

    The lawsuits claim that Suboxone, a sublingual film used for opioid addiction treatment, can degrade tooth enamel, causing dental decay, cavities, oral infections, and tooth loss.

    Plaintiffs allege that Indivior was aware—or should have been aware—of these risks but failed to adequately warn users or provide guidance to prevent these issues.

    The cases have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) before U.S. District Judge Philip Calabrese in the Northern District of Ohio for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

    Following a November status conference, Judge Calabrese will hear the oral arguments on December 16.

    The court has requested a joint report by December 12 to identify any remaining issues for review.

    Should the motion to dismiss be denied, the MDL will likely advance to the selection of bellwether cases, which could serve as representative trials for the broader litigation.

    These early trials may influence settlement negotiations and determine potential compensation amounts for the unresolved lawsuits.

    If you or a loved one took Suboxone and suffered severe tooth decay, you may be eligible to file a Suboxone Lawsuit.

    December 2, 2024

    The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) reported 678 case filings in the Suboxone Tooth Decay lawsuit in November.

    By December, the filings rose to 716, reflecting an increase of 38 cases.

    This lawsuit centers on claims that Suboxone, an opioid addiction treatment, caused serious dental problems such as tooth decay and loss, with plaintiffs alleging that the manufacturer failed to adequately warn about these risks.

    The rise in filings may be attributed to increased awareness among patients and healthcare providers about the link between Suboxone use and dental damage.

    The litigation continues to grow as more plaintiffs come forward, seeking accountability for the alleged harm caused by the medication.

  • November 2024 Updates:

    The Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit centers on allegations that Suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid addiction, has led to severe dental problems such as extensive tooth decay, erosion, and loss.

    Plaintiffs claim that Indivior, the drug’s manufacturer, failed to properly inform users about the potential risk of dental damage as a side effect of Suboxone.

    In October, 674 cases had been filed related to Suboxone tooth decay claims, which increased slightly to 678 by November, adding 4 new cases.

    This gradual rise suggests that more users are becoming aware of the dental risks tied to prolonged Suboxone use.

    The drug’s impact on dental health may lead to painful, costly procedures, which significantly affects the well-being of individuals relying on Suboxone for opioid addiction management.

    If you or a loved one took Suboxone and suffered severe tooth decay, you may be eligible to file a Suboxone Lawsuit.

  • October 2024 Updates:

    October 4, 2024

    The Suboxone Lawsuit is ongoing. 

    A multi-day status conference for the Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit commenced on October 4, 2024, uniting plaintiffs, defendants, and the MDL judge overseeing Suboxone dental injury cases.

    The goal is to finalize protocols for the upcoming discovery phase and early bellwether trials.

    Over 11,000 claims allege that Suboxone, a sublingual film medication, led to severe dental issues like tooth decay and enamel damage, citing insufficient warnings from its manufacturer, Indivior.

    A central focus of this conference is the development of a detailed census protocol requiring plaintiffs to provide comprehensive information about their injuries.

    This census will help the court identify cases representative of the broader claims, aiding in the selection of cases for the initial bellwether trials.

    These trials aim to gauge jury responses to evidence related to Suboxone’s alleged dental risks.

    In response to increasing reports of dental issues, the FDA updated Suboxone’s labeling in June 2022 to include warnings about potential dental damage.

    Plaintiffs argue that had Indivior issued earlier warnings and provided proper usage guidelines, many users could have avoided severe dental injuries.

    Conference discussions include the steps needed for gathering additional case details, medical records, and adverse event reports.

    These early trials will involve extensive discovery, including expert testimony on the link between Suboxone use and dental harm.

    If you or a loved one used Suboxone and suffered severe tooth decay, you may qualify to file a Suboxone Lawsuit.

    October 1, 2024

    The Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit centers on claims that the drug, used to treat opioid addiction and opioid use disorder (OUD), leads to serious dental issues, including tooth decay, loss, and other oral health complications.

    Plaintiffs argue that the manufacturers of Suboxone did not provide sufficient warnings about the drug’s side effects, particularly its potential to cause significant dental damage.

    In both September and October, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) reported 674 active Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits.

    Users of Suboxone have reported severe dental problems, such as rapid tooth decay and tooth loss, requiring expensive treatments like root canals, dentures, or implants.

  • September 2024 Updates:

    September 11, 2024

    The Suboxone Lawsuit is ongoing. In a recent update on the Suboxone MDL, an Ohio federal judge dismissed Indivior PLC and two Reckitt Benckiser entities from the lawsuits alleging that Suboxone, a treatment for opioid addiction, caused dental decay.

    U.S. District Judge J. Philip Calabrese issued the dismissal following an agreement reached between the parties involved.

    The claim filed by plaintiff Ryan Bennett was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, while other claims in the MDL were dismissed without prejudice, allowing those cases to potentially be brought again in the future.

    The litigation focuses on allegations that the companies failed to warn consumers about the acidic properties of Suboxone’s dissolvable film, which could damage teeth.

    Although Indivior and Reckitt Benckiser have been dismissed from the MDL, the litigation continues against other defendants, including Aquestive Therapeutics Inc.

    The MDL, which was consolidated in February 2024, now includes claims from multiple states.

    This follows Indivior’s earlier settlement of antitrust claims in a separate Suboxone case.

    September 9, 2024

    The Suboxone Lawsuit is ongoing. 

    The Suboxone Lawsuit, which saw a surge of activity earlier this year due to concerns about the statute of limitations, has been relatively quiet recently.

    However, this is expected to change as we near the end of 2024.

    Litigation is expected to gain momentum as defendants are scheduled to produce key documents and custodial files that plaintiffs will likely receive before year-end.

    A pivotal moment in the case will occur on October 4, 2024, when the oral argument for the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (MTD) based on preemption will take place.

    If plaintiffs successfully challenge the MTD, the lawsuit will proceed rapidly, with the bellwether trial process likely being agreed upon, and defendants will start to receive case-specific disclosures.

    This could mark a significant turning point in the Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit, with substantial developments expected in the months ahead.

  • June 2024 Updates:

    June 20, 2024

    Recently, more than 9,600 individuals have joined a mass lawsuit against the producers of Suboxone, filing their claims shortly before a crucial deadline that might have affected eligibility in numerous states.

    Suboxone, a medication used to treat opioid addiction, has been associated with significant dental problems, including tooth decay and irreversible damage.

    This drug combines buprenorphine and naloxone and is widely prescribed to alleviate symptoms of opioid withdrawal.

    Initially approved in tablet form in 2002, its sublingual film variant was launched around 2012.

    The plaintiffs claim this film version was created to stave off generic competition and did not adequately warn of dental health risks.

    It was not until June 17, 2022, after multiple reports of tooth loss, that the FDA mandated a warning for tooth decay.

    As we near the second anniversary of this FDA warning update, there are already about 500 Suboxone lawsuits pending in federal courts.

    These cases are under the supervision of U.S. District Judge Philip Calabrese in the Northern District of Ohio, grouped together in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) initiated in February 2024 to facilitate coordinated discovery and pretrial activities.

    Judge Calabrese is expected to implement a bellwether process, selecting specific cases for early trial that will help guide subsequent settlement discussions.

    If you or someone you know has experienced serious tooth decay after using Suboxone, you might be eligible to join the Suboxone Lawsuit.

    June 14, 2024

    The Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit is ongoing, and our lawyers are accepting new clients.

    The U.S. District Judge overseeing the consolidated Suboxone dental decay lawsuits has initiated a Leadership Development Committee (LDC) to streamline case management and enhance legal representation across the MDL.

    This committee is part of the mass tort litigation process, focusing on the widespread claims that Suboxone film causes severe dental decay, a side effect previously undisclosed by the drug’s manufacturer.

    Suboxone is a medication used to treat opioid addiction, but the sublingual film version of the drug introduced in 2012 has been linked to significant dental health issues, including enamel erosion, tooth decay, cavities, oral infections, and loss of teeth.

    It wasn’t until June 17, 2022, that the FDA mandated warnings about the risk of tooth decay on the medication’s labeling, spurred by numerous patient complaints.

    Plaintiffs allege that an earlier warning could have prevented irreversible dental damage.

    Approximately 350 product liability lawsuits are pending in the MDL, with numbers expected to surge as the two-year anniversary of the label update approaches, signaling a potential deadline for new claims.

    These cases have been centralized in the Northern District of Ohio under Judge Philip Calabrese for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

    If you or a loved one used Suboxone and suffered severe tooth decay, you may be eligible to file a Suboxone Lawsuit.

    These lawsuits claim that Suboxone, particularly when used as a sublingual film or tablet, significantly increases the risk of severe tooth decay due to the prolonged exposure of teeth to substances that promote decay.

    The litigation consolidates these claims into a single federal court, focusing on the severe dental issues allegedly caused by Suboxone.

  • May 2024 Updates:

    May 13, 2024:

    The Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit continues to progress. 

    Plaintiffs are advocating for a tolling agreement in this multi-district litigation (MDL) to pause the statute of limitations, allowing more claims for dental injuries from Suboxone.

    Since November 2023, the necessity of this agreement has been a focal point for effective litigation management.

    As of May 2024, there are nearly 500 pending cases in the lawsuit. Without a tolling agreement, there’s a risk of an overflow of potentially unapproved claims, which could complicate the MDL’s objective to streamline these cases.

    Defendants have consistently rejected the tolling agreement, a move plaintiffs see as a tactic to increase litigation challenges, possibly deterring weaker claims and adding complexity to the process.

    Controversy also surrounds the Suboxone warning label, updated on June 17, 2022, to include risks of dental decay and tooth erosion.

    Plaintiffs propose that the court should require defendants to respond to each complaint.

    Impending court decisions will likely influence the lawsuit’s trajectory, affecting strategies of both parties involved.

    May 1, 2024:

    The Suboxone Lawsuit is currently active.

    There are now 205 lawsuits consolidated in the Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) Film Products Liability Litigation, as reported in the latest JPML filings.

    This represents a significant increase, with 161 cases added to the litigation in the past month alone, up from just 44 cases on April 1st.

    The lawsuits allege that Suboxone’s formulation, particularly when used as a sublingual film or tablet, leads to prolonged exposure of the teeth to substances that can cause decay.

    The Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) Film Products Liability Litigation centralizes claims that Suboxone is linked to severe tooth decay in a single federal court.

    If you or someone you know has experienced severe tooth decay after using Suboxone, you might be eligible to participate in a Suboxone Lawsuit.

    These lawsuits have been filed by individuals who used Suboxone for opioid addiction treatment and subsequently suffered severe tooth decay and other dental injuries.

    In 2022, the FDA mandated that manufacturers include warning labels on Suboxone packaging to alert consumers about potential dental issues.

    However, claims suggest that many users were not adequately warned about these risks prior to this mandate.

    March 26, 2024:

    The Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit continues, and our attorneys are open to representing new clients.

    The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio has facilitated the submission of dental injury lawsuits related to Suboxone film by enabling plaintiffs to directly file their cases in this court within the broader framework of Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) No. 3092.

    Suboxone, a medication prescribed for opioid addiction treatment, combines buprenorphine to lessen withdrawal symptoms with naloxone to prevent misuse.

    Risks associated with Suboxone, especially the versions that dissolve orally, include significant tooth decay, cavities, and tooth loss.

    This direct filing system expedites the legal process by eliminating the requirement for lawsuits to be transferred from various jurisdictions to this centralized court.

    While plaintiffs have the choice to file their lawsuits directly in this MDL, it is not mandatory.

    Lawyers nationwide are able to represent their clients in this MDL without the need for special authorization or additional fees, making the process more streamlined for plaintiffs.

    Plaintiffs in their submissions are encouraged to propose a trial venue that has personal relevance to their case, such as their residence, the location where Suboxone was prescribed, or where it was used.

    While this does not ensure the trial will occur in the proposed location, it aids in the organization of cases within the MDL structure.

    This initiative by the Northern District of Ohio aims to make the legal process more accessible and efficient for those pursuing claims for dental damages allegedly caused by the use of Suboxone film and tablets that dissolve in the mouth.

    If you or someone you know has experienced dental problems, tooth decay, oral infections, or other dental injuries after using Suboxone, you might be eligible to participate in the Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit.

  • February 2024 Updates:

    The Suboxone Litigation remains active, with our legal team continuing to accept new cases.

    The Northern District of Ohio now serves as the consolidation point for the Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit, as determined by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML).

    According to the latest JPML updates, eleven lawsuits have been merged into this new Multi-District Litigation (MDL).

    MDLs in the United States are established to efficiently manage multiple civil cases that share common legal issues, facts, or defendants.

    This legal mechanism is particularly useful when a large number of lawsuits are filed across various jurisdictions, sharing a commonality such as tooth decay claims from Suboxone usage.

    These cases are then combined in a single federal district court to undergo pretrial processes together.

    The goal of an MDL is to streamline the legal process by centralizing discovery efforts, minimizing repetitive tasks, and ensuring uniform decisions on pivotal legal matters.

    For individuals affected by dental problems attributed to Suboxone, the establishment of an MDL offers a pathway to collectively seek compensation through mass tort litigation.

    The creation of an MDL for Suboxone Tooth Decay marks an important move towards achieving justice for individuals who have experienced tooth decay or other dental injuries as a result of using this opioid treatment medication.

    If you or someone you care about has endured severe tooth decay following Suboxone use, you might have grounds to pursue legal action and file a lawsuit.

  • October 2023 Updates:

    Indivior has reached a $385 million settlement to resolve claims from drug wholesalers in the U.S., accusing the company of illegally hindering generic versions of its opioid addiction medication, Suboxone.

    This agreement concludes protracted legal disputes over Suboxone, adding to previous settlements of $102.5 million in June with U.S. states and $30 million in August to address a class action from health plans.

    The settlement avoids a trial that was set for October 30, involving around 70 Suboxone purchasers.

    Suboxone was approved in the U.S. in 2002, with Indivior enjoying exclusive rights until 2009.

    The legal challenge centered on allegations that Indivior transitioned to a film version of Suboxone to unlawfully maintain its market dominance as generics were poised to introduce more affordable tablet options.

    In addition to this settlement, Indivior agreed in 2020 to a $600 million payment to settle charges by the U.S. government related to the fraudulent marketing of Suboxone.

    Opioid-related overdoses have been implicated in more than 900,000 deaths in the U.S. since 1999, as reported by the CDC.

    Mark Crossley, CEO of Indivior, stated that this settlement provides more predictability for the company’s stakeholders and emphasized that the agreement does not include an admission of liability.

    The settlement awaits approval from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, with the payment anticipated to occur the following month.

    If you or someone close to you has experienced severe tooth decay after using Suboxone, you might be entitled to pursue a lawsuit.

FAQ: What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a prescription medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone, primarily used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD).

The drug is administered as a sublingual film strip that dissolves under the tongue to reduce withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence.

The (2) two active ingredients in Suboxone are:

  • Buprenorphine: A partial opioid agonist that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the intense euphoria associated with full opioids.
  • Naloxone: An opioid antagonist that precipitates withdrawal symptoms to deter misuse.

The sublingual buprenorphine-naloxone is intended to be part of a comprehensive treatment plan for doctors to gradually reduce the dosage over time until patients are completely weaned off the drug in combination with counseling and therapy.

An alarming amount of cases describe severe oral health issues in patients with no reported prior history of dental problems.

How Suboxone Causes Tooth Decay

Suboxone’s acidic composition creates significant oral health risks during its required 5-10 minute sublingual dissolution period.

The medication’s dual mechanisms of direct acid exposure and induced xerostomia (dry mouth) can significantly impact dental health.

This combination creates an environment particularly conducive to tooth decay and enamel erosion.

The following factors contribute to Suboxone-related dental complications:

  • Direct Acid Exposure: Requires a minimum of 5-10 minutes of continuous acid contact during dissolution; prolonged exposure can occur when proper mouth rinsing is omitted, and repeated daily acid exposure is common with ongoing treatment.
  • Xerostomia Effects: Reduced saliva production, leading to diminished natural buffering of oral pH and decreased natural cleansing of the oral cavity.
  • Enamel Impact: Progressive erosion of the protective enamel layer, resulting in increased vulnerability to bacterial invasion and a heightened risk of cavity formation and structural damage.

Proper oral hygiene protocols, including post-dissolution mouth rinsing, are often overlooked in patient education for patients on Suboxone therapy.

Reduced saliva production and repeated acid exposure create a particularly challenging environment for maintaining dental health.

Regular dental monitoring and preventive care are essential to long-term Suboxone treatment management.

If you or a loved one were prescribed Suboxone to treat opioid addiction and suffered severe tooth decay, you may qualify to seek compensation.

Dental Injuries Identified in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)

In January 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about dental problems associated with buprenorphine medications dissolved in the mouth, such as Suboxone.

The FDA identified 305 cases of dental issues, including tooth decay, cavities, oral infections, and tooth loss, of which 131 were classified as serious.

They also acknowledged that this number is likely underestimated, as not all cases are reported, and many patients may not associate their dental problems with buprenorphine use.

The majority of these cases occurred in patients using the medication for opioid use disorder (OUD).

FDA Analysis of Buprenorphine Medications

The FDA’s analysis of buprenorphine medications underscores an array of dental complications linked to the transmucosal form of this drug, which includes tablets and films dissolved in the mouth.

These adverse dental effects include rapid decay, dental abscesses, and tooth fractures.

The analysis reveals that even patients without a history of dental issues are at risk, with some cases of dental injury manifesting as soon as two weeks after beginning treatment.

Analysis of the documented cases reveals the following data:

  • The average patient age was 42 years, with documented instances starting from age 18;
  • 37% of patients experienced damage to two or more teeth;
  • 23.3% of cases necessitated tooth extraction procedures;
  • 8.5% of affected patients had no prior dental issues; and
  • Treatments often involve root canals, crowns, implants, or other dental surgeries.

Healthcare professionals provided extensive documentation as evidence supporting the severity of the Suboxone tooth decay claims.

The median timeframe for diagnosis was approximately (2) two years after initiating treatment.

Initial oral complications were observed in some patients as early as (2) two weeks after beginning buprenorphine therapy.

According to the FDA, the benefits of buprenorphine in OUD management continue to outweigh these risks.

However, dental care providers and patients are urged to adopt specific preventive measures, such as regular dental checkups and following post-dissolution rinsing routines, to help reduce the likelihood of severe dental outcomes.

Additional Oral Health Risks Associated With Suboxone

Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, is also associated with substantial oral health risks when dissolved in the mouth.

The acidic nature of these medications, combined with the method of administration, creates an environment conducive to enamel erosion and bacterial growth, both of which accelerate tooth decay.

The following are specific concerns associated with Suboxone use:

  • Enamel erosion: Increased risk due to acidity and prolonged exposure
  • Bacterial growth: The mouth’s altered pH fosters conditions for oral bacteria
  • Preventive practices: Rinsing with water post-dose, delaying tooth brushing by one hour
  • Long-term effects: Potential for multiple tooth extractions, crowns, or implants due to significant decay

The FDA advises Suboxone patients to follow stringent dental hygiene practices and maintain consistent dental checkups to detect and address early signs of decay.

If you or a loved one were prescribed Suboxone to treat opioid addiction and suffered severe tooth decay, you may qualify to seek compensation.

Do You Qualify for the Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit?

Dental problems linked to Suboxone use can be life-changing for affected individuals, significantly impairing both oral health and overall quality of life.

The development of severe dental issues from Suboxone, such as tooth decay or tooth loss, often necessitates extensive and costly treatments, which can add a financial burden to the physical and emotional stress already experienced by patients.

For many in recovery from opioid use disorder, the added expense of critical dental care may be financially overwhelming, preventing them from accessing necessary treatments.

If you have experienced tooth decay, tooth loss, or other dental problems after using Suboxone, you may be eligible to file a Suboxone lawsuit.

Gathering Evidence for Suboxone Lawsuits

Evidence is vital in personal injury and product liability lawsuits, as it helps establish the connection between Suboxone use and dental complications.

Working with an experienced lawyer can ensure all critical evidence is gathered and preserved, but you can also begin this step to strengthen your claim.

Important evidence in Suboxone lawsuits may include:

  • Medical Records: Showing your Suboxone prescription, treatment duration, and any adverse effects documented by healthcare providers.
  • Dental Health Records: Including detailed notes from dental professionals on the condition of your teeth and gums, diagnoses, and other dental injuries.
  • Documentation of Suboxone Prescription: Records confirming that you were prescribed and regularly using Suboxone.
  • X-ray Images of Damaged Teeth: X-rays provide clear visual proof of tooth damage, which is crucial for demonstrating the extent of dental injuries.
  • Photos and Videos: Images or video documentation showing the progression of dental issues or the impact of treatments.
  • Additional Evidence: Any other documents showing Suboxone use and subsequent dental health problems, such as treatment plans, medication lists, or dental cost breakdowns.

Collecting this evidence is essential in demonstrating how Suboxone led to severe dental issues, providing a factual basis for your claim and potentially influencing the compensation awarded.

Assessing Damages in Suboxone Lawsuits

Damages in Suboxone lawsuits refer to the total financial and personal losses sustained due to dental problems linked to Suboxone use.

Calculating these damages requires an experienced attorney who will work with you to evaluate each aspect of your claim and determine the compensation needed to address past, present, and future losses.

Potential damages in Suboxone lawsuits may include:

  • Medical Bills (Past, Present, & Future): Compensation for all medical expenses related to dental issues, from initial diagnostics to ongoing treatments.
  • Dental Bills: Coverage for the costs of restorative procedures, such as root canals, crowns, implants, or dentures.
  • Lost Wages or Earning Ability: Recovery for income lost due to time off work and diminished earning potential if dental issues have impaired job performance.
  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical discomfort, emotional distress, and psychological tolls related to ongoing dental complications.
  • Lost Quality of Life: Compensation for reduced daily enjoyment or ability to engage in social, professional, or personal activities.
  • Permanent Disability: In cases where dental injuries result in permanent limitations or disabilities.
  • Emotional Damages: Compensation for the mental health impact of visible or painful dental injuries, especially if they affect self-confidence or social interactions.
  • Other Compensatory and Punitive Damages: Depending on the case, punitive damages may apply if there’s evidence of manufacturer negligence, aiming to deter similar harm in the future.

Assessing these damages comprehensively can provide a more accurate picture of the claim’s value, offering plaintiffs the financial resources necessary to move forward while addressing the substantial effects of Suboxone-related dental damage.

Potential Suboxone Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

With increasing numbers of plaintiffs reporting severe dental injuries allegedly linked to Suboxone use, potential settlement amounts for Suboxone lawsuits are under scrutiny.

While the exact payout for individual cases remains uncertain, settlements in similar cases typically depend on factors such as the severity of dental issues, associated medical costs, lost wages, and the overall impact on quality of life.

Average Suboxone Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

No settlements have been reached in the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits at this time.

However, legal experts estimate that average Suboxone settlement amounts could range between $10,000 and over $150,000 per claimant, depending on individual circumstances and the progression of the litigation.

These projections are based on settlements from similar product liability cases and should not be viewed as a guarantee of compensation.

For more information on your potential Suboxone lawsuit, contact TruLaw using the chat on this page to receive an instant case evaluation.

Though no specific average settlement amount has yet been established for dental-related Suboxone cases, prior settlements in pharmaceutical injury lawsuits suggest that settlements could vary widely based on individual circumstances.

Factors influencing the average settlement values in the Suboxone lawsuit include:

  • Extent of Dental Damage: Severe cases requiring multiple procedures, such as extractions, implants, or full-mouth rehabilitation, will likely yield higher settlements.
  • Impact on Daily Life: Cases where dental issues significantly hinder work, social life, or physical health can also drive higher settlement amounts.
  • Ongoing Medical Needs: Plaintiffs needing continuous dental care or preventive measures due to permanent damage may receive greater compensation.
  • Presence of Manufacturer Negligence: If proven, negligence or failure to warn consumers about Suboxone’s potential risks could result in higher compensatory or punitive damages.

Previous Lawsuits Against Indivior (Suboxone Manufacturer)

While Suboxone has played a pivotal role in treating opioid addiction, its history is fraught with legal challenges, primarily focused on misleading marketing practices and efforts to block generic competition.

These legal issues have led to significant financial penalties for Indivior, the manufacturer of Suboxone.

The following are key settlements that highlight the legal action taken against the company for various practices:

  • October 2023: Indivior Inc. agreed to pay $385 million to resolve final Suboxone monopoly lawsuits. These lawsuits claimed that the company’s practices unlawfully restricted competition in the market.
  • June 2023: Suboxone reached a $102.5 million settlement with 42 states to compensate states for inflated costs tied to restricted generic alternatives.
  • May 2021: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it returned nearly $60 million to consumers overcharged for Suboxone due to Indivior’s attempts to suppress generic competition.
  • July 2019: The U.S. Justice Department secured a $1.4 billion settlement from Reckitt Benckiser Group, the former parent company of Indivior, addressing allegations of false marketing claims and safety misrepresentations.

These prior lawsuits demonstrate Indivior’s history of legal and regulatory challenges, with substantial penalties resulting from anti-competitive and allegedly misleading practices.

This pattern of litigation underscores the company’s ongoing legal vulnerability, a factor that could influence future settlements in dental injury cases as plaintiffs seek accountability for their injuries.

If you or a loved one were prescribed Suboxone to treat opioid addiction and suffered severe tooth decay, you may qualify to seek compensation.
