Facts |
Reports have emerged that more and more patients are asking for methadone by name, particularly at pain management clinics.
Methadone was initially used as a painkiller by the Germans during World War II.
Detox from Methadone may be more difficult than other substances; but, the end result is a body clean from drug polluting toxins.
Individuals are as physically dependent on methadone as they were to heroin or other opiates; this is not recovery from drug addiction.

Morphine
Morphine is the principal constituent
of opium and can range in concentration from 4 to 21 percent. Commercial opium
is standardized to contain 10-percent Morphine. In the United States, a small
percentage of the Morphine obtained from opium is used directly (about 15 tons),
while the remaining amount is converted to codeine and other derivatives (about
120 tons). Morphine is one of the most effective drugs known for the relief
of severe pain and remains the standard against which new analgesics are measured.
Like most narcotics, the use of Morphine has increased significantly in recent
years. Since 1990, there has been about a 3-fold increase in Morphine products
in the United States.
Morphine is marketed under generic
and brand name products including "MS-Contin®," Oramorph SR®,"
MSIR®," Roxanol®," Kadian®," and RMS®."
Morphine is used parenterally (by injection) for preoperative sedation, as a
supplement to anesthesia, and for analgesia. Morphine is the drug of choice
for relieving pain of myocardial infarction and for its cardiovascular effects
in the treatment of acute pulmonary edema. Traditionally; Morphine was almost
exclusively used by injection. Today, Morphine is marketed in a variety of forms,
including oral solutions, immediate and sustained-release tablets or capsules,
suppositories, and injectable preparations. In addition, the availability of
high-concentration Morphine preparations (i.e., 20-mg/ml oral solutions, 25-mg/ml
injectable solutions, and 200-mg sustained-release tablets) partially reflects
the use of this substance for chronic pain management in opiate-tolerant patients.
