Typical dosage for Suboxone Film

In general, your prescriber will work with you to adjust the dose of your medications for opioid use disorder based on your individual needs.

Suboxone film (buprenorphine / naloxone) is placed under the tongue (sublingual) or against the inside of the cheek (buccal). The film dissolves on its own.

  • Day 1: You'll typically start with films that contain either 2 mg/0.5 mg (buprenorphine/naloxone) or 4 mg/1 mg (buprenorphine/naloxone). The typical starting dose is 1 film as a single dose, then 1 to 2 films every 2 hours until you reach a total dose of 8 mg/2 mg (buprenorphine/naloxone) for day 1.
  • Day 2: The typical dose is up to 16 mg/4 mg (buprenorphine/naloxone) as a single dose.
  • Day 3 and onwards: Your prescriber will continue to adjust your dose until you reach a maintenance dose. The recommended target dose for maintenance is 16 mg/4 mg (buprenorphine/naloxone) once per day.
