How To Use Buspirone

Buspirone comes in the form of a tablet for oral administration. You can take it with food or without food, but you should do so consistently. 

Read the prescription label carefully and use buspirone exactly as advised. Do not take a higher or lower dose of the medicine or take it more or less frequently than your doctor tells you.

Your doctor may start you on a low dose of buspirone and increase the dose every 2-3 days. It may take several weeks for you to get the therapeutic effects and reach a maintenance dose that works for you.

Missed dose: If you forget a dose of buspirone, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store buspirone at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in its original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused buspirone should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw buspirone in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded buspirone is through a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal
