SUBOXONE Film is a prescription medicine that contains the active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone. It is used to treat adults who are dependent on (addicted to) opioids (either prescription or illegal).

​

SUBOXONE Film is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and psychosocial support.

Treatment should be initiated under the direction of physicians qualified under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act.

​

Treatment should begin under the supervision of a doctor. In approved patients, treatment may continue at home with follow-up visits to a doctor at reasonable intervals.

​

SUBOXONE Film is intended for administration under the tongue or inside the cheek and is available in four dosage strengths.

 

SUBOXONE Film contains buprenorphine and naloxone:

• Buprenorphine is the primary active ingredient in SUBOXONE Film. By attaching to the same receptors as other opioids, it can help to suppress withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings

• Naloxone is included to help prevent misuse. If you are dependent on a full opioid agonist and attempt to inject SUBOXONE Film, the naloxone is likely to cause withdrawal signs and symptoms

 

Selected Safety Information:

Do not take SUBOXONE Film if you are allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious negative effects, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported.
