METHADOSE is a brand name for methadone, a powerful synthetic opioid medication primarily used for pain management and as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD). Methadone works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain and by decreasing the craving and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction, thereby facilitating recovery and maintenance. It is administered orally and is available in various forms, including liquid, powder, and tablets. Due to its potential for abuse and dependence, METHADOSE is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States and is prescribed and dispensed under strict regulations. It is essential for patients to use METHADOSE under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure its safe and effective use.
