How do I take suboxone?

Suboxone enters the bloodstream under the tongue.

To help get the best adsorption into the blood you should take the following steps:

1. Drink some water to moisten your mouth... it will help the tablets dissolve more easily

2. Place the tablet under your tongue, if your dose is two tablets place one tablet on the left side and one on the right side (a mirror may help with the placement), and lean your head slightly forward.

3. Do not dissolve more than 2 tablets at a time, if your prescribed dose is more than 2 tablets, dissolve 2 tablets first and put the next tablets in after the first tablets have completely dissolved.

4. It will take about 5 to 10 minutes for the tablets to dissolve.

5. DO NOT chew or swallow the tablets, DO NOT talk while the tablets dissolve, as you will not get the correct dose and it will not work as well.
