Acquiring SUBLOCADE

Step 1: Communicate the injection date to the specialty pharmacy

Once the specialty pharmacy has verified the patient's benefit coverage and received a valid prescription for SUBLOCADE, the specialty pharmacy will work with the office staff to coordinate shipment of SUBLOCADE in conjunction with the patient's appointment.

Step 2: Acquire and store SUBLOCADE

Once SUBLOCADE is acquired, store the medication according to regulatory and labeling requirements.

SUBLOCADE is a federal Class III controlled substance and requires special handling and storage.

There may be other storage requirements not addressed in the Prescribing Information; refer to state and federal regulations.
