Active ingredients

The drug SUBLOCADE contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

UNII 40D3SCR4GZ - BUPRENORPHINE

Buprenorphine is an opioid partial agonist/antagonist which attaches itself to the μ (mu) and κ (kappa) receptors of the brain. Its activity in opioid maintenance treatment is attributed to its slowly reversible link with the μ receptors which, over a prolonged period, minimises the need of illicit opioids for patients with opioid dependence.
