Important Safety Information
What is the most important information I should know about ZUBSOLV®?

If you experience symptoms like dizziness, confusion, sleepiness, or slow breathing, seek emergency help immediately.

Medicine Switch: Do not switch from ZUBSOLV to other buprenorphine-containing medications without consulting your healthcare provider.
Withdrawal: Do not stop taking ZUBSOLV suddenly to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Your body may have become physically dependent on the medicine.
