About Methadone 5mg
Generic Methadone HCl 5mg — white round tablet imprinted 54 162 by Roxane Laboratories. Methadone is a synthetic opioid with unique pharmacological properties: it acts as both a mu-opioid receptor agonist and an NMDA receptor antagonist, making it particularly effective for neuropathic pain components. Used for chronic severe pain and opioid dependence treatment.
Methadone has a long and unpredictable half-life of 8–59 hours (average 24–36 hours), meaning levels accumulate with repeated dosing. Titration must be done slowly with careful monitoring.
