- 1). Take the proper dose. Typical doses for Subutex are one or two pills.
- 2). Place the pill under your tongue. Subutex is taken sublingually and dissolved. Hold the pill under your tongue until is completely dissolves in your mouth.
- 3). Don't speak while the pill dissolves. Subutex dissolves more efficiently if the mouth is kept closed.
