Bunavail

Bunavail (buprenorphine and naloxone) is a buccal film used for the treatment of opioid dependence. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while naloxone is an opioid antagonist that helps prevent misuse by blocking the effects of opioids if the medication is misused. Bunavail is used as part of a comprehensive treatment program, including counseling and behavioral therapy, for opioid addiction.

  • Buccal films: 2.1 mg/0.3 mg, 4.2 mg/0.7 mg, and 6.3 mg/1 mg of buprenorphine and naloxone.

Who Shouldn't Take Bunavail?

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Place the Bunavail buccal film inside your cheek and allow it to dissolve completely. Do not chew or swallow the film.
  • Avoid eating or drinking while the film is dissolving to ensure proper absorption.
  • Do not stop using Bunavail abruptly, as this may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Consult your healthcare provider to taper off the medication if necessary.
