Hi, Chad. This is a question that would be best answered by your doctor to ensure that you are prescribed the appropriate dosage. ZUBSOLV (buprenorphine and naloxone) sublingual tablet (CIII) is available in two doses: 5.7-mg/1.4-mg buprenorphine/naloxone, round tablet and 1.4-mg/0.36-mg buprenorphine/naloxone, triangular tablet. ZUBSOLV is indicated for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support.

Because ZUBSOLV tablets deliver more active ingredient to the bloodstream, it allows patients to use a lower strength, thereby reducing the amount of available drug for potential misuse and diversion. In fact, ZUBSOLV contains less buprenorphine than other buprenorphine/naloxone-containing sublingual tablets but achieves similar systemic exposure.

An effective treatment approach for opioid dependence is a comprehensive one that includes pharmacological therapy, counseling, and psychosocial support.

Do not inject ("shoot-up") ZUBSOLV. Injecting ZUBSOLV may cause life-threatening infections and other serious health problems. Injecting ZUBSOLV may cause serious withdrawal symptoms such as pain, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, sleep problems, and cravings.

ZUBSOLV is a controlled substance (CIII) because it contains buprenorphine, which can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs. Keep your ZUBSOLV in a safe place to protect it from theft. Never give your ZUBSOLV to anyone else; it can cause death or harm them. Selling or giving away this medicine is against the law.

I hope I am doing this right, as I am new to message boards and forums...

Anyway, on topic, I just switched to zubsol 3 days ago and will share how it has been for me thus far. I used the coupon my doctor gave me, which can be used twice a month. Of my prescription, I filled 12 tabs at 5.7mg (equal to 8mg suboxone) for about $25. This is a decent savings from what I was paying for the suboxone film with coupon. The pill itself is better in that it is smaller, devolves better, and has less of an aftertaste. The bioavailability of zubsolv also seems to be noticeably better, which brings up a concern...tapering. I had decided it was time to taper from the film, an easier decision to adhere to when you don't really feel the effects of your medication. But the new zubsolv worked for me the way the suboxone tabs did the first couple days I took it, giving me that slight euphoric feeling and a nudge (motivation). But perhaps this too will only be the initial reaction, lasting just a couple/few days, and instead will do a better job of allowing me to go longer between doses. It's going to be somewhat more challenging to cut the dose down, as this pill is small and not perforated, but will figure that out since it is far superior to the film in every other way.

Subutex contains just the narcotic Buprenoprhine as the active ingredient, so an 8mg tablet of it contains that much of the Buprenorphine…

Where the Zubsolv is actually an equivalent to Suboxone, because it contains the Buprenorphine (in this case 5.7mgs) and Naloxone (in this case 1.4mgs).

Learn more Subutex details here.

Learn more Suboxone details here.

So no, they aren't equal to the 8mg Subutex tablets.

This medication is a narcotic opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
