Buprenorphine is used as a treatment for heroin dependence and also in helping people to withdraw from heroin and methadone.
The dosage of buprenorphine varies and is given in a case to case basis.As a guide, doses range from 4 milligrams to 32 milligrams per day for people with heroin dependence. There are certain phases in its use with different guidelines the reason why it may only be prescribed by a doctor who has a permit from the Department of Human Services (DHS).
In USA, a 15-day supply of 2/0.5 mg buprenorphine/naloxone tablets costs approximately $100 from a retail pharmacy.
