INDICATION
Prescription SUBLOCADE, with counseling and psychosocial
support, is for adults with moderate to severe opioid addiction who have
started treatment with a dose of oral buprenorphine or are being treated with
buprenorphine.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most
important information I should know about SUBLOCADE?
· Because
of serious risk of potential harm or death from self-injecting SUBLOCADE into a
vein (intravenously), it is only available through a restricted program called
the SUBLOCADE REMS Program.
· SUBLOCADE
is not available in retail pharmacies.
· Your
SUBLOCADE injection will only be given to you by a certified healthcare
provider.
· SUBLOCADE
contains a medicine called buprenorphine which is an opioid that can cause
serious and life‐threatening
breathing problems, especially if you take or use certain other medicines or
drugs.
· Talk to
your healthcare provider about naloxone, which is a medicine that is available
to patients for emergency treatment of an opioid overdose. If naloxone is
given, call 911 or get emergency medical help right away to treat overdose or
accidental use of an opioid.
· SUBLOCADE
may cause serious and life-threatening breathing problems. Get emergency help
right away if you: feel faint, dizzy, confused, sleepy or
uncoordinated, have blurred vision or slurred speech, are breathing slower than
normal or cannot think well or clearly.
· Do not
take SUBLOCADE with certain medicines. Taking SUBLOCADE with other opioid
medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system
depressants (including street drugs) can cause severe drowsiness, decreased
awareness, breathing problems, coma, and death.
· In an
emergency, have family members tell emergency department staff that you are
physically dependent on an opioid and are being treated with SUBLOCADE.
· You may
have detectable levels of SUBLOCADE in your body for several months after
stopping treatment with SUBLOCADE.
Who should not receive
SUBLOCADE?
Do not receive
SUBLOCADE if
you are allergic to buprenorphine or any ingredient in the prefilled syringe
(delivery system: a biodegradable 50:50 poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) polymer and a biocompatible solvent, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)).
Before starting SUBLOCADE, tell your healthcare provider
about all of your medical conditions, including if you
have: trouble
breathing or lung problems, a curve in your spine that affects your breathing,
Addison’s disease, an enlarged prostate, problems urinating, liver, kidney,
gallbladder or mental health problems, alcoholism, head injury or brain
problem, adrenal or thyroid gland problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you
are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed:
· If you
receive SUBLOCADE while pregnant, your baby may have symptoms of opioid
withdrawal at birth that could be life‐threatening
if not recognized and treated. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are
pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
· SUBLOCADE
can pass into your breast milk and harm your baby. Talk to your healthcare
provider about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with SUBLOCADE.
Monitor your baby for increased drowsiness and breathing problems if you
breastfeed during treatment with SUBLOCADE.
Tell your
healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription
and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements before starting
any new medicines and during or after stopping treatment with SUBLOCADE.
What should I avoid while being treated with SUBLOCADE?
· Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or
perform any other dangerous activities until you know how SUBLOCADE affects
you. SUBLOCADE can make you sleepy, dizzy, or lightheaded,
especially in the first few days after your injection and when your dose is
changed.
· Do not drink alcohol or
take prescription or over‐the‐counter medicines that contain alcohol during
treatment with SUBLOCADE, because this can lead to loss of consciousness or
even death.
What are the possible side effects of SUBLOCADE?
SUBLOCADE can cause serious side effects, including:
·
Trouble
breathing. Taking SUBLOCADE with other
opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system
depressants can cause breathing problems that can lead to coma and death.
·
Sleepiness,
dizziness, and problems with coordination.
· Physical dependence or abuse.
· Liver problems. Call
your healthcare provider right away if you notice any of these symptoms: your
skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice), dark or “tea‐colored” urine, light colored stools (bowel
movements), loss of appetite, pain, aching, or tenderness on the right side of
your stomach area, or nausea.
Your healthcare provider should do
blood tests to check your liver before you start and during treatment with
SUBLOCADE.
· Allergic reaction. You
may have rash, hives, itching, swelling of your face, wheezing,
light-headedness, feeling faint or loss of consciousness. Call your healthcare
provider or get emergency help right away.
· Opioid
withdrawal. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any
of these symptoms: shaking, sweating more than normal, feeling hot or cold more
than normal, runny nose, watery eyes, goose bumps, diarrhea, vomiting, or
muscle aches.
· Decrease in blood pressure. You
may feel dizzy when you get up from sitting or lying down.
The most common
side effects of SUBLOCADE include: constipation, headache,
nausea, injection site itching, vomiting, increase in liver enzymes, tiredness,
or injection site pain.
SUBLOCADE may affect fertility in males and females. Talk
to your healthcare provider if this is a concern for you.
