What is SUBOXONE® Film?
SUBOXONE® Film is a medication indicated for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence in a doctor's office setting and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and support. The main ingredient in SUBOXONE® Film is buprenorphine . Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that blocks other opioids from attaching to opioid receptors in the brain.
The medication in SUBOXONE® Film has been shown to help patients stay in treatment and reduce illicit drug use by suppressing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings. SUBOXONE® Film also has a naloxone component that helps discourage abuse.
Opioid dependence is a challenging condition--but it can be treated. When medication-assisted treatment is combined with counseling, there is a greater opportunity for treatment success.
