Clearwater, Florida — A surge of lawsuits has emerged linking the opioid treatment drug Suboxone to serious dental health issues, prompting significant developments in the ongoing litigation against its manufacturer, Indivior. The latest updates from Lawsuit Legal News outline key milestones that could influence settlement discussions and trial schedules in this growing multidistrict litigation.
The legal battle centers around claims that sublingual Suboxone strips contribute to severe oral health problems, including tooth decay and loss. Emerging scientific evidence appears to bolster the claims made by plaintiffs, raising questions about the safety of the medication. Legal experts suggest that the accumulating data may significantly strengthen the cases of those affected, although the resolution will ultimately hinge on whether the matters are settled in court or through mediation.
In July 2025, several critical updates were reported. Plaintiffs have encountered delays in acquiring essential pharmacy records necessary to verify past Suboxone usage. Walgreens has come under scrutiny for allegedly not complying with court-ordered deadlines to produce these records. A hearing has been scheduled to discuss the company’s noncompliance. In contrast, other pharmacies, such as Safeway and Porch Light Health, have reportedly resolved their documentation issues.
Regarding the pool of plaintiffs involved in the initial stages of the legal process, notable adjustments were made. Out of 500 plaintiffs originally selected for early discovery, 48 have withdrawn due to either voluntary dismissals or documentation problems. These individuals will be replaced through random selection, refining the group that will participate in the forthcoming bellwether trials. A subset of 100 cases will undergo more extensive discovery, with four cases advancing to trial.
While there is growing interest among claimants for a possible settlement, legal analysts from Lawsuit Legal News predict that significant negotiations may not occur immediately. It is believed that Indivior could be delaying discussions until a three-year statute of limitations expires, a strategy that might limit the company’s liability for new claims. Projections suggest that meaningful settlement talks may materialize toward the end of 2025 or early 2026.
