Hi Cisco:
Yes I received your email and sent one back. The box says that each amp has .3mg of buprenorphine. However, if you read your PDR or the package insert, same thing, you will see that it says that the normal dose is .3mg or one amp every 6 hours. Occasionally it may be neccessary to administer .6mg to adults depending on the severeity of pain and at this time there are insufficient data to recommend single doses greater than .6mg for long term use. Furthermore in drug abuse and dependence the drug may cause withdrawel symptoms.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Sally
