Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to offer Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet), a compounded formulation specifically designed for sublingual administration. This medication is an opioid agonist-antagonist, primarily used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain, opioid dependence, and opioid withdrawal. Buprenorphine works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, effectively blocking the effects of other opioids and providing relief from symptoms.

The sublingual solution is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise and controlled dosing. This method of administration facilitates rapid absorption of the medication into the bloodstream through the highly vascularized sublingual mucosa. This ensures efficient and targeted delivery of the medication, providing fast-acting effects and bypassing the digestive system.

It is crucial to note that Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet) should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Misuse or incorrect dosing can lead to serious health complications. Therefore, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality of care. We understand that each patient's needs are unique, and we strive to provide personalized care and attention. If you have any questions about Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet) or any other medication, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to assist you with any concerns or queries you may have.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet) is a specialized liquid formulation intended for sublingual administration in veterinary patients, specifically dogs and cats. This method of administration allows for the rapid absorption of the active ingredient, Buprenorphine, directly into the bloodstream via the highly vascularized sublingual mucosa. This ensures efficient and targeted delivery of the medication, bypassing the digestive system for fast-acting effects.

This formulation is primarily indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain in dogs and cats. Additionally, it is utilized in the treatment of opioid dependence in these animals. Buprenorphine, the active ingredient, exhibits a high affinity for the mu-opioid receptor, functioning as a partial agonist. Conversely, it has a low affinity for the kappa-opioid receptor, where it acts as an antagonist. This medication has a long duration of action, with a half-life of approximately 24 hours in dogs and cats.

Common side effects associated with Buprenorphine include sedation, vomiting, and constipation. It is advised to use this medication with caution in animals with hepatic or renal impairment, as well as in those with a history of seizures. Buprenorphine is contraindicated in animals that have shown hypersensitivity to it or other opioids. Furthermore, caution is advised when used in combination with other CNS depressants, such as sedatives, tranquilizers, and alcohol.

For any queries or concerns regarding the use of this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is our aim to provide comprehensive information to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this medication in your veterinary patients.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet) is a specialized liquid formulation designed for sublingual administration, meaning it is intended to be placed under the tongue. This method of administration allows for rapid absorption of the medication into the bloodstream through the highly vascularized sublingual mucosa, providing efficient and targeted delivery for fast-acting effects and bypassing the digestive system. This medication is dispensed in a dropper bottle, which allows for precise and controlled dosing.

This medication is primarily used in the treatment of pain and opioid dependence. It functions by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which reduces the effects of opioids and decreases cravings.

It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when taking Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet). The solution should be placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve, rather than being swallowed. Swallowing the solution can reduce its effectiveness. The medication should be taken as prescribed, typically once or twice a day.

It is important to note that Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/ml Sublingual Solution (Vet) can be habit-forming. Therefore, it should be used strictly as prescribed, and not more than the prescribed dose should be taken. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about this medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
