What is Buprenorphine?

Buprenorphine (brand names: Buprenex®, Simbadol®, Belbuca®, Vetergesic®, Buprenodale®, Sublocade®, Suboxone®, Subutex®, Temgesic®) is an opioid analgesic used to treat pain, or is used as a preanesthetic in the hospital or clinic setting.
Its use in dogs, small mammals, large animals, and sometimes cats to treat pain is ‘off label’ or ‘extra label’. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.
