A pharmacy receives the following prescription: Suboxone 8 mg/2 mg SL film #60 Sig: 2 films SL once a day How should this medication be used?

  1. Subcutaneously

  2. On the tongue

  3. Under the tongue

  4. Rectally

The correct answer is: Under the tongue

The medication Suboxone is a sublingual film, which means it is designed to be dissolved under the tongue. Taking it any other way, such as subcutaneously (under the skin) or rectally, would not allow for the medication to be absorbed properly. Administering it on the tongue could also lead to less absorption as the medication is specifically designed to be taken under the tongue for maximum effect. Therefore, the correct way to take this medication is by placing the film under the tongue and allowing it to dissolve.
