The FTC sued the makers of Suboxone®, a prescription drug to treat opioid addiction, alleging they were preventing patients from choosing lower priced generic versions of the drug. The companies agreed to pay $60 million to consumers to settle the FTC charges.
That means if you got a prescription for Suboxone® film in the United States between March 1, 2013 and February 28, 2019, you may be eligible for a payment.

The application deadline is December 1, 2020.

The FTC did not have the individual contact information for patients taking Suboxone. To make people aware of the Suboxone settlement claims process, the FTC issued a press release on July 24, 2020, and published a blog post on July 30, 2020. The agency also paid for advertisements online, in print media, and on the radio. In addition, the agency sent notice to prescribing doctors all over the country. If you believe you are eligible for a payment from this settlement but did not file a claim, you can call 1-877-545-0238 to be placed on a waiting list. If there are funds available after the first distribution is complete, we will contact you with information about how to receive a payment.
