This Buprenorphine 0.4 mg Troche formulation is a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. It delivers medication through oral mucosa absorption for targeted local or systemic effects. It is primarily used in the treatment of opioid dependence, chronic pain, severe pain, cancer pain, and neuropathic pain.

Patients should also be monitored for signs of withdrawal, as buprenorphine can cause withdrawal symptoms when discontinued abruptly. Furthermore, patients should be observed for signs of sedation, as buprenorphine can cause sedation when taken in high doses or when combined with other CNS depressants.
