Key characteristics and warnings

Controlled substance: Methadone is a controlled substance with a high potential for misuse, abuse, and addiction.
Respiratory depression: It can cause life-threatening or fatal breathing problems, especially during treatment initiation or after a dose increase.
Overdose risk: Accidental ingestion by children can be fatal. In case of overdose, symptoms include severe drowsiness, difficulty breathing, pinpoint pupils, and loss of consciousness.
Withdrawal symptoms: Sudden discontinuation can lead to unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, so the dose must be reduced gradually under a doctor’s supervision.
Cardiac effects: Methadone may cause rare but serious heart rhythm problems, particularly at high doses.
CNS depressants: Taking methadone with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants can increase the risk of serious side effects like respiratory depression, profound sedation, and coma.
