What is Zubsolv?

Zubsolv sublingual tablets contain a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication, sometimes called a narcotic. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioid medication, including pain relief or feelings of well-being that can lead to opioid abuse.

Zubsolv is used to treat opioid addiction.

Zubsolv is not approved for use as a pain medication.
