About this service
Suboxone sublingual film is indicated for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counselling and psychosocial support. Suboxone may be more suitable for patients who have a shorter history of opioid dependence.
Suboxone (buprenorphine + naloxone) has been approved for the treatment of opiate dependence. It is actually two drugs in one pill.
* Buprenorphine - a partial opioid agonist, meaning it can both activate and block opiate receptors, depending on the clinical situation.
* Naloxone - an opiate antagonist, meaning it blocks the effects of opiates. When Suboxone is taken under the tongue as prescribed, naloxone is not absorbed in sufficient amounts to have a clinical effect. Because Suboxone is an opiate agonist, there is a risk of misuse by people addicted to opiates. To prevent this, naloxone was combined with buprenorphine.
Who can use it?
Persons dependent on opioids
