Brixadi

Brixadi is a medicine that helps treat opioid use disorder.

It contains buprenorphine, which helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Brixadi is given as a shot, so you do not have to take a daily pill or film.

Brixadi can be given:

• Once a week or
• Once a month, depending on what works best for you

The shot is given by a healthcare provider under the skin, usually in the arm, belly, thigh, or buttock. The medicine is slowly released over time to help keep cravings under control.

Many people like Brixadi because it:

• Helps prevent withdrawal
• Reduces cravings
• Can be weekly or monthly
• Makes treatment easier to stick with

Your provider will help you decide if Brixadi is a good option for you and will answer any questions you have.
