Suboxone
SUBOXONE® sublingual film, which contains buprenorphine and naloxone, is a prescription drug used to treat opioid dependence in adults. It treats dependence on both opioid prescription painkillers and heroin. Its manufacturer, Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc., instructs that it should only be used “as part of complete treatment program that also includes counseling and behavioral therapy.” SUBOXONE film is designed to suppress opiate withdrawal symptoms and reduce opiate cravings. It comes in the form of rectangular orange film featuring a white printed logo. Each film is packaged individually, and in child-resistant packaging. The film is placed under the tongue, and the medication it contains is absorbed into the bloodstream through the blood vessels beneath the tongue.
SUBOXONE film can be used at home, which makes it a discreet way of treating opioid dependence/addiction. It comes in 2 mg, 4 mg, 8 mg and 12 mg doses, essentially eliminating problems with under- or overmedicating.
