User Reviews for Belbuca buccal

As others have mentioned, package is difficult to open and the film can be tricky to get it to dissolve properly. Once you get past those hurdles, the effectiveness is good. I have used the Fentanyl and I like this better. No major breakthrough pain like Fentanyl. With the Fentanyl, after 48 hours the effect quickly wears off and by the time 72 hours ace around I would be in major pain. Put another patch on and repeat the process

Just wish the price would be less than $800 without insurance/$156 per month out of pocket with insurance.

Been taking this for 5/6 months- I had to stop it because my teeth/gums started hurting so bad. Rotting teeth/gums is not one of the side effects. Did anyone else have this issue?

Expensive, poor ease of use, film wrinkles on cheek loosing effectiveness of drug, film sticks real good to your finger. Poor chronic pain relief. I was unable to use this drug due to headaches and nausea. My pain is out of control without any prescribed pain meds from pain management clinic. OTCs meds do not help. I am miserable with poor quality of life.

I've had peripheral neuropathy of my left leg/foot for going on 18 years now. Several surgeries, every injection and therapy available. I've been "up" the mountain to Fentanyl patches but do NOT like having patches. Along with ER Morphine I'm taking 300mcg belbuca and it seems to help quite a bit. I'm hoping to transition solely to it and give that a shot. Easy to use, I stick it far up my cheek so it imbeds between my cheek and gums...doesn't come off that way. It DOES take a few days to actually see the effects so don't expect it to be fast acting. It's a "marathon" med...Read More Read Less

This drug is not for severe pain. Works only 2-3 hours for myself at 900 mcg. Methadone is much more effective. Takes up to 1 1/2 hours to dissolve. Over 30 year back patient.

CAUTION! I been on this drug all the way up to 900mcg. I got my life back but quess what insurance decides not to pay for it anymore.. Im allergic to all pain meds. This drug is 800.00 plus. I'm having the worse withdrawals ever. The company coupon forget it. It's so sad that I'm being treated worse than animal.

Didn’t stick to check and doesn’t matter because doesn’t take pain away anyway.What are we supposed to do.Two neck surgeries waiting on the next.This is bull.

I have chronic paid from having a nerve bundle severed during major surgery for cancer. It will be a lifetime thing. I applaud my doctor for trying something new but this just didn't work for me. I had nausea, headache, dizziness and blurred vision and still a pain level of about a 7 within two hours of taking it. I thought it was a good effort, just isn't for me.

I have been satisfied with the product and it's effectiveness. I do not have the extreme pain then having to wait for the medicine to be useful.

I took the belbuca and I hurt as bad,can't take anything to help my nerves or sleep, it cost $800.00 for 60 .its no good for pain.this is a scam

Did NOT HELP at all with my PAIN, CERO effectiveness, extremely expensive, a waste of $$ pls don't even try it...it does not dissolve and rolls into your teeth!!

This med is a waste of money. It doesn't stick to cheek well and takes forever to dissolve. I get little help from it/ A brother always said follow the money and that's why the insurance made the switch.

expensive, doesn't stick to side of cheek, last only a few hours, big waste of medication

Often will not stick to cheek, even if I swish water around first. Either it won't stick at the beginning (sticking more to my finger) or, even worse, it eventually slupms down onto my teeth. No idea idea is I'm even getting the proper dose, so it's hard to decide if an increase is appropriate. UHC, please give me my Butrans back!!!!!!

I noticed immediate results. I did find that it lasted about 6hrs only though, not the full 12 hrs.

the only drug that has helped me with my pain
