Belbuca is a medication used for pain relief, specifically in cases of severe or chronic pain when other treatments haven't been effective. It's mainly used to manage pain in patients who need around-the-clock, long-term treatment.
Belbuca is an opioid analgesic. It works by attaching to specific proteins called opioid receptors in your brain, spinal cord, and other areas of your body. Through this action, Belbuca helps block pain signals sent from the nerves to your brain, which may reduce the sensation of pain.
Belbuca is available as a buccal film that comes in several dosage strengths: 75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, 600 mcg, 750 mcg, and 900 mcg. The buccal film is applied inside the cheek, where it dissolves and is absorbed into the body. The dosage and frequency will depend on the severity of your pain and your doctor's prescription. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.
The most common side effects of Belbuca include:
Nausea or vomiting
Headache
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Serious but rare side effects can occur with Belbuca use, including:
Trouble breathing or shortness of breath (respiratory depression)
Adrenal gland problems
Severe low blood pressure (hypotension)
Chest pain
If you experience symptoms or signs of a severe reaction, like difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat or face, seek medical help immediately. Belbuca also carries a risk of addiction, misuse, and abuse, which may lead to overdose and death. Belbuca may cause opioid withdrawal symptoms in babies if taken during pregnancy.
This list is not exhaustive. Consult your doctor or healthcare professional for additional information and advice about potential side effects or drug interactions.
Yes, Belbuca is a strong painkiller. It is part of a class of medications known as opioid analgesics, which are sometimes referred to as narcotics. These medications work by altering the brain's perception of pain, which may help provide relief for chronic or severe pain.
The dosage of Belbuca is individualized and is based on the severity of your pain and your response to treatment. Your doctor or healthcare provider will prescribe the right dosage for you. Do not self-medicate or adjust your dosage without consulting your healthcare provider. Overdosing on Belbuca may lead to fatal respiratory depression. Only use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider.
