Formula Information

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present the Buprenorphine 4 mg Rapid Dissolve Tablet, a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of conditions. This medication is primarily used for the treatment of opioid dependence, chronic pain, severe pain, postoperative pain, and cancer pain. The unique formulation of this medication allows it to dissolve quickly in the mouth, facilitating rapid absorption and providing swift relief.

Buprenorphine is an opioid agonist-antagonist, which means it binds to opioid receptors in the brain, blocking the effects of other opioids while simultaneously providing pain relief. This dual action makes it an effective treatment for opioid dependence, as it can help to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, it is an effective treatment for various types of pain, including chronic pain, severe pain, postoperative pain, and cancer pain. It works by reducing pain intensity and enhancing the quality of life for patients.

For those considering this formulation, it is crucial to understand that Buprenorphine 4 mg Rapid Dissolve Tablet should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Buprenorphine 4 mg Rapid Dissolve Tablet is a potent opioid medication primarily used in the management of opioid dependence, chronic pain, severe pain, postoperative pain, and cancer pain. This medication functions by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain, which helps in reducing the craving for opioids and effectively blocking the effects of other opioids. The unique rapid dissolve tablet form of buprenorphine facilitates faster absorption into the bloodstream, thereby providing quicker relief from pain and opioid withdrawal symptoms.

It is crucial to understand that buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. This means it has a lower potential for abuse and addiction compared to full opioid agonists. This characteristic makes it a safer option for long-term management of chronic pain and opioid dependence.

Buprenorphine 4 mg Rapid Dissolve Tablet should be taken strictly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is essential to adhere to the directions provided on the label and take the medication exactly as prescribed. Taking more or less than the prescribed dose can lead to undesirable effects. If you have any queries or concerns about how to take this medication, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
