Brixadi is a prescription medication used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) in adults. It contains buprenorphine, a medication that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Brixadi is a long-acting injection available in two forms:
- Weekly injections: for flexible dosing early in treatment
- Monthly injections: for long-term maintenance once you're stable
How Brixadi Works
-Brixadi releases buprenorphine steadily over time to:
-Control cravings for opioids
-Ease withdrawal symptoms
-Block the effects of other opioids, if used
By keeping a consistent level of medication in your body, Brixadi helps reduce the risk of relapse and supports long-term recovery.

-It should always be used as part of a full treatment plan, including therapy and recovery support.
