Place buprenorphine-with-naloxone sublingual film under the tongue and keep it there until completely dissolved (4–8 minutes on average). Do not swallow, chew or move the film after it is placed under the tongue, as doing any of these makes the medicine less effective.
Should you swallow Suboxone after it dissolves?
Suboxone should stay under the tongue until the entire film fully dissolves. Chewing, moving, and swallowing Suboxone is not advised because less medication will be absorbed into the bloodstream — meaning it won't work as well and could result in withdrawal symptoms.Jul 29, 2021
