Always take your SUBOXONE exactly as prescribed by your doctor Before taking SUBOXONE, it's a good idea to drink some water to moisten your mouth. This helps the SUBOXONE tablets dissolve more easily If your dose is 1 SUBOXONE tablet, place it under your tongue, lean your head slightly forward, and let the tablet dissolve completely. SUBOXONE is absorbed into the bloodstream through the veins under the tongue If your dose is 2 tablets, place both of them under your tongue, 1 on the left side and 1 on the right side (you can use a mirror to make sure the tablets are in the proper places). Lean your head slightly forward and let the tablets dissolve completely -If you have more than 2 tablets to take, put the next tablet(s) under your tongue after the first tablets have dissolved completely SUBOXONE takes a short time (about 5 to 10 minutes, but sometimes more) to dissolve completely. Don't chew or swallow the tablets, because less SUBOXONE will be absorbed into your bloodstream, it will not work as well, and your withdrawal symptoms could worsen Talking while the tablets are dissolving can interfere with how well SUBOXONE is absorbed - You may want to do something that dosen't require talking, such reading or watching television, while waiting for the tablets to dissolve - Let family and friends know that you won't be able to answer them or talk on the phone during this time If you reside in Las Vegas, NV and you are addicted to opiates you can get help with SUBOXONE by contacting Weldon Bond, D.O./HouseCall Doctors, LLC online or by calling (702) 474-6300
