Overview

Buvidal is a medicine used to treat dependence on opioid (narcotic) drugs such as heroin or morphine.

Buvidal is used in adults and adolescents aged over 16 years who are also receiving medical, social and psychological support.

Buvidal contains the active substance buprenorphine and is a ‘hybrid medicine’. This means that it is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ containing the same active substance, but Buvidal is given in a different way.

The reference medicine for Buvidal is Subutex. While Subutex is available as sublingual tablets (tablets to be placed under the tongue), Buvidal is available as a solution for injection under the skin.
