About Methodone:  Methadone ( also called Symoron, Dolophine, Amidone, Methadose, Physeptone, Heptadon and others) is a synthetic opioid, used medically as an analgesic, antitussive and a maintenance anti-addictive for use in patients on opioids. It was developed in Germany in 1937. Although chemically unlike morphine or heroin, methadone also acts on the opioid receptors and thus produces many of the same effects. Methadone is also used in managing chronic pain due to its long duration of action and very low cost. In late 2004, the cost of a one-month supply of methadone was $240, as compared to an equivalent analgesic amount of meperidine (pethidine) at $120, up to $500 and more for hydromorphone, morphine, fentanyl, and extended-release oxycodone.

Methadone’s usefulness in treatment of opioid dependence is becasue: It has cross-tolerance with other opioids including heroin and morphine and a long duration of effect, with the result that oral dosing with methadone will stabilize the patient by stopping the opioid withdrawal syndrome. Secondly, it also blocks the euphoric effects of heroin, morphine, and similar drugs. As a result, properly dosed methadone patients can reduce or stop altogether their use of these substances.

Methadone is only approved for the treatment of opioid dependence. It is not intended to reduce the use of non-narcotic drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, or alcohol. мека мебел

Painkiller overdose kills Blackpool man

A BLACKPOOL man died after an overdose of prescription painkillers he was addicted to, an inquest heard.

Winston Allerton – known as “Yorkie” to his friends – spent up to 90 per cent of his income on the drugs.

The 64-year-old was given only small amounts of the medication by his doctor, but would meet drug dealers in the street in order to buy more pills, his friend Annette Heath said.

Mr Allerton’s inquest in Blackpool came days after an all-party Parliamentary group of MPs produced a report warning of the dangers of people becoming addicted to over-the-counter pain-killers containing codeine.

And assistant deputy coroner for Blackpool, Christopher Beverley, who recorded the verdict Mr Allerton died through dependency on drugs, said: “So often we think of drug dependency being limited to young people, but it’s unfortunately something that can affect every age group.”

Mr Allerton, of North Promenade, Blackpool, was found to have a lethal dose of methadone and dihydrocodeine in his body.

A postmortem examination also showed he had severe arterial sclerosis and damage to his heart.

He also had traces of the painkillers codeine and tramadol in his system.

Mr Beverley said: “There is no evidence to suggest Mr Allerton intended to take his own life.

“What is quite apparent is that Mr Allerton had an addiction to painkillers. He lost his leg to bone cancer at an early age and this may have been the time he began to be dependent on the drugs.”
