Suboxone prescription online

You can get a Suboxone prescription through a telehealth platform like Klarity Health if a licensed provider determines it’s medically appropriate. The process is safe, confidential, and can often be completed in less than 24 hours.*

To get a Suboxone prescription online, you’ll need to meet with a licensed provider, such as a physician or psychiatrist (MD), physician assistant/associate (PA), nurse practitioner (NP), or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PNP). But, not all providers can prescribe Suboxone; they must have a buprenorphine-waiver training or special certification to prescribe for opioid use disorder.

A qualified provider can discuss your symptoms and treatment goals and, if appropriate, electronically send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy.

Compared to Suboxone, Methadone is a full opioid agonist that’s been around for a long time. It can be highly effective but comes with a higher risk of dependence and usually requires daily visits to a licensed clinic.

Brixadi is a newer, extended-release version of buprenorphine (the main ingredient in Suboxone). It’s available as a weekly or monthly injection, offering more flexibility and eliminating the need for daily dosing. But, only healthcare professionals can administer Brixadi; it cannot be picked up from a pharmacy. 

Sublocade is another long-acting buprenorphine option. It’s a monthly injection done by a healthcare professional that delivers a steady dose without daily pills or films. It’s effective but can be expensive and must be administered at a clinic. Another transdermal film version of buprenorphine is available under the brand name Butrans, but it is only approved for the management of severe and persistent pain.

Vivitrol is another option that works differently because it’s not an opioid at all. It’s a monthly injection of naltrexone, which blocks opioid receptors to prevent opioids from producing a high. Because it doesn’t have an opioid component, there’s no risk of addiction with Vivitrol, but you must fully detox before starting, or it can trigger sudden withdrawal.

All of these medications have different FDA approvals, and all can cause side effects. Suboxone is FDA-approved to treat opioid dependence and can cause side effects like headaches, nausea, and constipation. Methadone is approved for both opioid use disorder and chronic pain but may lead to drowsiness, constipation, and respiratory issues. Brixadi and Sublocade are long-acting buprenorphine injections approved for opioid use disorder, with common side effects including injection site pain, nausea, and headache. Vivitrol, approved for opioid and alcohol dependence, is non-addictive but can cause nausea, dizziness, and withdrawal symptoms if opioids are still in the system.
