How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Buprenorphine 2 mg/ml Sublingual Drops is a specialized formulation designed to aid in the treatment of opioid dependence and opioid use disorder. This medication functions by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which helps in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence. The unique sublingual drop form allows for the medication to be taken under the tongue, where it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method of administration provides a more rapid onset of action compared to other forms of buprenorphine.

The recommended dosage for this formulation is one drop administered under the tongue every 12 hours. It is important to note that the drops should not be swallowed, as this can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the medication. The sublingual administration allows for the medication to bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream directly, ensuring maximum efficacy.

Patients using Buprenorphine 2 mg/ml Sublingual Drops should be closely monitored for signs of opioid withdrawal, as well as for indications of misuse or abuse of the medication. If any of these signs are observed, it may be necessary to adjust the dosage or discontinue the use of the medication. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this medication.

Understanding the unique characteristics of this compounded formulation is essential for its proper use and maximum effectiveness. If you have any questions or concerns about Buprenorphine 2 mg/ml Sublingual Drops or its administration, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
