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.

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. This makes it an effective treatment option for patients requiring immediate relief from their symptoms.

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 effective use of this medication in your veterinary patients.
