Sublocade is an extended-release buprenorphine delivered for one month by which administration route?

Depot-based, monthly extended-release delivery relies on a subcutaneous injection that forms a drug depot to release medication over time. Sublocade is designed to be given as a subcutaneous injection into the abdominal tissue, where the depot gradually releases buprenorphine over about a month. This route provides a steady level of the medication and avoids the rapid spikes or immediate systemic exposure seen with intravenous use or non-depot routes. A transdermal patch is a different delivery method and does not create the same monthly depot. Administering the injection into the abdomen ensures the depot forms properly for consistent release throughout the treatment period.
