Have you ever wondered how people safely manage withdrawal symptoms during opioid recovery?
The answer often lies in proven medications like zubsolv.
Zubsolv is a prescribed medicine that is approved for the treatment of opioid dependence, available in a sublingual formulation that melts, making it an easier and faster acting option for treatment.
It is FDA approved, and is used in practice with medical oversight as part of a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) opioid dependence program.
At CT Addiction Medicine, we provide complete support for patients using zubsolv therapy.
How Zubsolv Works in Opioid Recovery
To understand how zubsolv works, we need to understand what happens in an opioid addiction. Opioids will change the brain chemistry in a way that gives way to dependency and makes it impossible for a person to stop with no support for addiction issues.
If someone stops an opioid suddenly, they can experience significant withdrawal symptoms both physically and emotionally.
Zubsolv Doses: What You Should Know
Due to a patient’s medical and opioid addiction history, the amount of zubsolv prescribed will vary from one patient to the next. Generally speaking, a doctor will start low and increase the zubsolv as appropriate.
It is very important to carry out the orders of a doctor in this matter, as taking too little–or too much–can lead to inadequate treatment and/or discomfort.
Zubsolv for Pain and Recovery
While zubsolv is primarily used for the treatment of addiction, the use of zubsolv for pain may be helpful for specific circumstances.
The buprenorphine portion provides mild pain control through interactions with opioid receptors.
Why Zubsolv Stands Out
Longer-Lasting Effects
Zubsolv remains active in the body for longer time. Patients will not need to dose multiple times throughout the day.
Less Risk of Misuse
The added naloxone component helps prevent misuse or dependency, keeping patients safe during treatment.
Improved Absorption
Zubsolv has better absorption rates because the medicated film is placed under the tongue, allowing the body’s utilization as well as less side effects.
Zubsolv Side Effects: What Patients Should Expect
Common symptoms include:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Constipation
- Insomnia
Severe effects are rare but can include difficulty breathing or allergic reactions. Always contact your healthcare provider if symptoms worsen.
