Suboxone, which contains the opiate Buprenorphine and the agonist Naloxone is commonly used to treat drug addiction and severe, chronic pain.

That said, NO, this drug was just approved and placed on the market in 2002, in the US, a proprietary drug patent lasts for 10 years, plus they can get several extensions, so this one has several years to go yet, before any generics will be able to come on to the market.

Even then, since this medication is VERY highly regulated, it is likely that it could result in something similar to that which has happened to Oxycontin, and they deny generics to better control such a potentially dangerous medication.

They've been working to remove all generic Oxycontin from the market.
