Flexible Weekly or Monthly Buprenorphine Treatment
Every recovery journey is different. Some patients need closer support at the beginning of treatment, while others benefit from longer gaps between appointments as they become more stable.
Brixadi is designed to support that kind of flexibility.
At Mahajan Therapeutics, Brixadi is offered as an extended-release buprenorphine medication for OUD with both weekly and monthly dosing choices.
That built-in flexibility allows the treatment plan to change as recovery needs change.
Whether a patient needs frequent follow-up early on or a longer-interval option later, Brixadi can adapt along the way.
The Weekly Option
Weekly Brixadi may be helpful for patients who are:
- Early in treatment
- Transitioning from another medication
- Still stabilizing on buprenorphine
- Benefitingfrom more frequent contact with the care team
Weekly dosing allows providers to adjust medication levels more quickly and respond to cravings or withdrawal symptoms with more precision.
The Monthly Option
As recovery stabilizes, many patients transition to monthly Brixadi injections.
Monthly dosing provides support for 28 days and can reduce the need for frequent visits while still supporting long-term recovery alongside counseling.
Seamless Transitions
Brixadi allows movement between dosing schedules as clinical needs change. That means treatment can evolve alongside patient progress.
FluidCrystal® Technology
Brixadi uses a medication delivery system known as FluidCrystal technology.
Once injected under the skin, the liquid forms a nanostructure gel depot that releases buprenorphine gradually during the dosing period.
This creates consistent medication delivery without the daily fluctuations that may happen with oral or sublingual medication.
Steadier medication levels can support more reliable craving control and overall treatment stability.
Consistent Support Without Daily Medication
Brixadi replaces a daily medication routine with scheduled weekly or monthly injections.
That change can offer several advantages.
Steady Medication Levels
Brixadi keeps buprenorphine levels more consistent in the body, which can reduce the daily peaks and dips some patients experience with traditional dosing.
Reduced Daily Stress
Not having to remember medication every day can remove one more source of stress during recovery and create a greater sense of flexibility.
Convenience and Accessibility
Brixadi was developed to make treatment easier to adapt to real-life needs.
No Required Lead-In Period for All Patients
Unlike some extended-release injections, Brixadi does not always require a strict 7-day lead-in period on sublingual films before the first dose.
Quick In-Office Procedure
Brixadi is administered as a subcutaneous injection, which means it is delivered just under the skin rather than into muscle. The visit is short and the injection usually takes only a few minutes.
Multiple Injection Sites
Brixadi can be given in several approved injection sites, rather than being limited to the abdomen:
- Upper arm
- Thigh
- Buttock
- Abdomen
This gives providers added flexibility to select the most appropriate injection site for each patient.
