Can Subutex Be A Small White Round Pill With 8 On One Side And An Arrow On The Other

Updated

My friend takes 8mg subutex and when he picked up his script today, they weren't the usual white tablet. They were white and the size of a 2mg subutex with an 8 on one side and an arrow on the other. Could his pharmacist have made a big mistake or are these just a different brand??

From what I can tell these tablets do contain 8mgs of Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in Subutex. They were originally released in the U.k. and then became available in the U.S. when the generic market for the medication opened up here.

So yes, just a different manufacturer, they are made by Arrow, which explains the logo on the tablet, they use that on all of their products.

Are there any questions or comments?

Thank you so much! I actually did some research on Arrow Generics and saw that they were out of UK and Watson bought them out, but I wasn't sure if there was a connection. The only other information I could get was that they did distribute Buprenorphine. Thanks again for letting me know I was actually right on the money! My friend will feel much better knowing he's not taking an anti-psychotic medicine like the search engine said:)

I had received little white round pills with an arrow on one side and an 8 on the other that are supposedly buprenorphine (subutex generic) but they dont taste the same and it doesnt seem to keep me well as long without feeling like i need more. The normal pills i get are bigger and have a clear line down the middle to break in half, i dont have any in front of me because i have to pick up my refill but anyone else get these? Are they helping anyone?

Yea the same thing happened to me today, i went to get my script of subutex and it was a totally different looking pill, i found out its just a new kind. they are actually better i think because they dissolve so much faster, but i was worried at first to that they made a mistake, but i took it and it worked the same, so i guess they just came out with a new pill

i have been taking 8m buprenorphine for 4 years now and much prefer the the small arrow generics type and probably find them a little stronger if an 8m can be this small imagine what all the extra additives in the big subutex type which you really dont need to be taking plus the amount of time it takes to actually take 5/10 minutes compared to 30 seconds beats it hands down.

So why are they so much smaller than the regular generics by TEVA (White oval ones) or the name brand oval ones by Reckitt? Is it because its concentrated buprenorphine packed down so it looks like a small round white pill? Does anyone know what I'm saying? I need some answers because the size difference is confusing me big time! Thanks for any help PLEASE!

The size difference is less buffer, the smaller ones contrain the same amount of active ingredient but less of the inert (non drug). Smaller has benefits, it dissolves faster cuz of less binder.

I dont know. I just started the little ones today, and it seems like i cant tell i took it. I hope you are right. Also, my insurance(blue cross/blue shield) called me and asked me all kind of queastions. One of the things she told me was, "There are too many people taking it who dont need it. It is not a good drug." By the end of the conversation, she actually said it was a miracle drug.

U can not buy subutex, suboxone tablets or films, without a prescription and it is not sold illegally thru Internet Pharmaceutical scam companies. Thank God that is the case! This drug has saved my sanity and my life, and i would absolutely hate to see it turned into a problem drug like all of the pain killers....

i think the little ones are much better ..that's all i ask for at the pharmacy..if u want the full effect, don't talk or move ur mouth much..because it does dissolve so fast a lot of the medicine is in ur spit..thefore it can leak out and be swallowed during or after melting phases. i like to sit up in my bed away away from everybody and let it dissolve, then i still sit when its finished but i still don't swallow ..a lot of the good stuff is floating around in ur saliva. so make sure u can hold ur spit as long as u can under ur tongue...i know it sounds alot but it really isnt..subutex saved my life for 2 years now..hopefully ill be off it this time next year..ill be 25 yrs old on 9-11-12...i would hate to hear people abusing these now just because they are smaller and can be "bumped" or like the person said above sniffing the hell out of them...its a shame..its a drug to get ur life back on track...but anyways..i thought little ones sucked to..but i like them more now since i know the pros and cons..im a drug addict so u better believe imma get every mg i can get out of them without wasting any of it.but at the same time i pray every weekend at church.."God help me get off these subs ASAP when the time is right." WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT are the key words..

Ya I truly believe subutex saved my life, I also just got the real small ones, and thought they messed up, turns out the small ones are being manufactured by Hi-tech pharm out of NY. It is also true they have hardly no fillers or additives in them making them very potent, and prob much eaiser to abuse, I take only half a pill a day and haven't abused opiates in almost 3 years, after a 11 year herion addiction, so ya this med is a life saver for me and thousands of others who want to stay off opiates and get there lives back, good luck everyone!

I’ve been taking subutex for 10 years with Xanax and adderall. I love the combo. But subs are good when they are the big white Roxanne’s. If you get 60 you get 2 of the bottles that the pharmacy gets. I take subs sublingually. Lots of people abuse them.

People will 100% abuse anything..people die from to much water consumption. Kratom was a miracle drug until a bunch of teenagers started bragging all over the internet how high they could get...believe me when I say start saving as many pills as you can because suboxen will be NEXT on the kill list!!!! Subutex is already BANNED.... Save -save-save

You are exactly right and I am happy that you shared that. The small generic buprenorphine are not as effective which is exactly what I have been saying. It's good to know its not just in my mind.
Just like you said, after taking it it feels like you need more. It's like you have an urge for something and don't know what it is and are never satisfied. I can't get comfortable or concentrate. I have taken more and still feels the same way even when taking more than prescribed dose.
I say the formulation or active ingredient is definitely less than the larger tablets. I request only the large tablets now which are Roxanne manufacturer. Now in my city the Roxanne is on back order going on two months now.

Which brand is it that you are taking? I have been on Roxanna 8mg twice a day for almost 3 years and I am going to a new and cheaper pharmacy which only has the orange Actavis 8mg brand and in nervous to switch because I've heard so many people say that they don't work which I have a hard time believing. I want to try the Teva 8mg brand but don't know where to get them. Maybe CVS or Walgreen? I have no idea.
