Interventions
XRB is available in dosage strengths of 100 mg/0.5 mL and 300 mg/1.5 mL buprenorphine. Each dose is provided in a prefilled syringe with a 19 gauge 5/8-inch needle.
SLB is administered sublingually or buccally as a single daily dose. Medication should be prescribed in consideration of the frequency of visits. Provision of multiple refills is not advised in early treatment or without appropriate follow-up visits. After treatment induction and stabilization, the maintenance dose of SLB is generally in the range of 4mg/1mg buprenorphine/naloxone to 24mg/6mg buprenorphine/naloxone per day depending on the individual patient and clinical response.
