Always Follow Your Doctor’s Orders When Using Prescription Medications.
When using Suboxone to treat opioid addiction, it is important to properly care for the medication and to dispose of it when it is no longer needed. Not only does proper care help to keep the medication working properly, but it also protects you and others from the possible negative effects of accidental ingestion.
Properly Caring for Suboxone
When using Suboxone, you should keep track of the amount of medicine that is used from each new bottle. In this way, you can ensure it is not being used improperly by someone else without a prescription. You should also store your medication at room temperature and away from moisture and heat. The medication should remain in the foil pouch until it is ready to use and the pouch should be discarded in a place where children and pets cannot access it.
Using Suboxone
When using Suboxone, it is important to follow your doctor’s orders. Not only does this ensure you get the desired effects, but it also helps to reduce the risk of side effects.
Disposing of Suboxone
If you no longer need to use your prescription medication, you should ask your pharmacist where you can locate a drug take-back disposal program. If none is available, you should flush any unused medicine down the toilet.
