Step by Step Suboxone Start-up

To ensure safe and effective use of Suboxone sublingual film, follow these detailed steps:
  1. Start by thoroughly washing your hands with soap and warm water to prevent contamination of the medication.
  2. Drink a small amount of water to moisten your mouth, which helps the film dissolve more effectively.
  3. Remove the Suboxone sublingual film from its packaging, handling it carefully to avoid damage.
  4. Place the film under your tongue, positioning it towards the back and either side of your mouth. For two films, position each on opposite sides without overlapping. Keep the films flat and hold them in place until they adhere.
  5. Allow the film to dissolve completely under your tongue, typically within 5–10 minutes. Avoid chewing, swallowing, or moving the film.
  6. Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 15–20 minutes after taking the film to ensure proper absorption.
