Buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film is an orange film, imprinted with white ink identifying the product and strength. It contains buprenorphine hydrochloride, a mu-opioid receptor partial agonist and a kappa-opioid receptor antagonist, and naloxone hydrochloride dihydrate, an opioid antagonist, at a ratio of 4:1 (ratio of free bases). It is intended for sublingual or buccal administration and is available in four dosage strengths, 2 mg buprenorphine with 0.5 mg naloxone, 4 mg buprenorphine with 1 mg naloxone, 8 mg buprenorphine with 2 mg naloxone, and 12 mg buprenorphine with 3 mg naloxone. Each sublingual film also contains polyethylene oxide, maltitol, citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, acesulfame potassium, FD&C yellow #6, lime flavor and white ink. The white ink contains ethyl alcohol, propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, and titanium dioxide.
