Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It is advised that SUBOXONE and NORCO should not be taken together.
Ideally NORCO is given either 48 hours before or after taking SUBOXONE.
It is always better to increase the dose of SUBOXONE if you are having more pain.
However,if you can talk to your doctor,you may discuss about it as he should be apprised of the situation.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
