What Is Brixadi Treatment?

Brixadi is an extended-release form of buprenorphine that is injected once a month to treat individuals suffering from moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD). After receiving FDA approval in 2023, Brixadi has become an effective alternative to other single-dose buprenorphine treatments.

Like Suboxone and Sublocade, Brixadi reduces withdrawal symptoms, the likelihood of relapse, and the cravings associated with OUD. With a wide range of dosing options available, Brixadi can be tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.
