Important Dosage And Administration Information
SUBOXONE sublingual film is administered sublingually or buccally as a single daily dose.
Medication should be prescribed in consideration of the frequency of visits. Provision of multiple refills is not advised early in treatment or without appropriate patient follow-up visits.
Patient Access To Naloxone For The Emergency Treatment Of Opioid Overdose
Discuss the availability of naloxone for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose with the patient and caregiver. Because patients being treated for opioid use disorder have the potential for relapse, putting them at risk for opioid overdose, strongly consider prescribing naloxone for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose, both when initiating and renewing treatment with SUBOXONE sublingual film. Also consider prescribing naloxone if the patient has household members (including children) or other close contacts at risk for accidental ingestion or opioid overdose [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Advise patients and caregivers that naloxone may also be administered for a known or suspected overdose with SUBOXONE sublingual film itself. Higher than normal doses and repeated administration of naloxone may be necessary due to the long duration of action of SUBOXONE sublingual film and its affinity for the mu-opioid receptor [see OVERDOSAGE].
Inform patients and caregivers of their options for obtaining naloxone as permitted by individual state naloxone dispensing and prescribing requirements or guidelines (e.g., by prescription, directly from a pharmacist, or as part of a community-based program) [see Patient Counseling Information].
