Methadone 40mg online
Methadone is used to treat addiction to opioids (such as heroin) as part of an approved treatment program. Methadone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids. Methadone has become increasingly popular in the palliative care and hospice setting because of its efficacy, its lower number of adverse effects in comparison to other opiates, and its comparative inexpensiveness.
Methadone can be taken with or without food. It is available as a tablet, dispersible tablet, or liquid. The tablet may be taken with water or another liquid of choice. The dispersible tablet may be dissolved in water or juice. If you take the liquid form of methadone, you can mix it in with a small amount of water or juice to dilute the taste if you wish. The DEA and pharmaceutical industry agree that the reported increase in methadone-related adverse events merits action and further agree to a united effort to assure that methadone is properly distributed, consistent with its approved uses. Industry and the federal entities involved commit to monitoring the progress of this initiative.
Patients who are opioid-tolerant are those receiving, for 1 week or longer, at least 60 mg/day oral morphine, 25 mcg/hour transdermal fentanyl, 30 mg/day oral oxycodone, 8 mg/day oral hydromorphone, 25 mg/day oral oxymorphone, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid
Above all, Use of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, and because of the greater risks of overdose and death with extended-release opioid formulations, reserve for patients whose alternative treatment options (e.g., non-opioid analgesics or immediate-release opioids) are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain. 20-30 mg taken orally once daily or minimum dosage necessary to suppress withdrawal; may be titrated to 40 mg/day in divided doses and continued for 2-3 days, then decreased 20% daily as tolerated
