Cassipa Overview
Cassipa is a prescription medication used for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence.
Cassipa is a single product containing 2 medications: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine belongs to a group of drugs called partial opioid agonists. Like opioids, these have a pain relief and euphoric effect. Naloxone belongs to a group of drugs called opioid antagonists. These work to reverse the effect of opioids. Naloxone is included to prevent abuse of this medication.
This medication comes as a sublingual film (applied under the tongue) and is taken once a day, with or without food. Do not cut, chew, or swallow Cassipa film.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal, and constipation. Cassipa can cause dizziness and intoxication. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Cassipa affects you.
