Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present the Buprenorphine 0.6 mg/ml Sublingual Solution, a specialized formulation intended for the treatment of opioid dependence and chronic pain. Buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, binds to opioid receptors in the brain, producing a milder opioid effect than full opioid agonists.

This unique formulation is designed for sublingual administration, meaning it is placed under the tongue for absorption. The solution is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise and controlled dosing. This method facilitates rapid absorption of the medication into the bloodstream through the highly vascularized sublingual mucosa. This efficient and targeted delivery system provides fast-acting effects and bypasses the digestive system, enhancing the effectiveness of the medication.

The Buprenorphine 0.6 mg/ml Sublingual Solution is a proven treatment for opioid dependence and chronic pain. It aids in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence. Additionally, it can help alleviate pain associated with chronic conditions. This formulation is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects.

For patients and prescribers considering this formulation, it is crucial to understand that the Buprenorphine 0.6 mg/ml Sublingual Solution should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider. Adherence to the prescribed instructions is essential, and it is not advisable to exceed the recommended dose. If you have any queries or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you in your journey towards better health.

The solution is dispensed in a dropper bottle, which allows for precise and controlled dosing.

This medication is primarily indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist, which means it has a lower potential for abuse and dependence compared to full agonists such as morphine and oxycodone. It is crucial to understand that Buprenorphine should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support. Regular monitoring for signs of misuse, abuse, or addiction is necessary when using this medication.

Buprenorphine 0.6 mg/ml Sublingual Solution may interact with other medications, including benzodiazepines, alcohol, and other opioids. Therefore, patients are advised to avoid alcohol and other drugs while taking buprenorphine. Regular monitoring for signs of respiratory depression, sedation, and other opioid-related adverse effects is also crucial.

Caution is advised when using Buprenorphine 0.6 mg/ml Sublingual Solution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, as well as in patients with a history of substance abuse or mental health disorders. Monitoring for signs of opioid withdrawal, including nausea, vomiting, sweating, and anxiety, is necessary.

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.
