Drug Info for methadone hcl

Methadone is used to relieve severe and persistent pain in people who are expected to need an opioid pain medication around the clock for a long time and who cannot be treated with other medications. Methadone should not be used to treat mild or moderate pain, short-term pain, or pain that can be controlled by medication that is taken as needed. Methadone also is used to prevent withdrawal symptoms in patients who were addicted to opiate drugs and are enrolled in treatment programs in order to stop taking or continue not taking the drugs. Methadone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. Methadone works to treat pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. It works to treat people who were addicted to opiate drugs by producing similar effects and preventing withdrawal symptoms in people who have stopped using these drugs.

Methadose is used to treat severe and ongoing pain. This drug works by changing the way the body feels and responds to pain.
