What is Methadone (Dolophine)?

Methadone (DOLOPHINE) is a prescription medicine that contains methadone, which is a narcotic pain medicine similar to morphine. Methadone is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it is a strong opioid pain medicine that can be abused by people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs.

Prevent theft and misuse. Keep your Methadone tablets in a safe place to protect them from theft. Never give Methadone to anyone else even if they have the same symptoms you have. It may harm them and even cause death. Selling or giving away this medicine is dangerous and against the law.

Methadone is used:
1. to treat moderate to severe pain in people that do not respond to non-narcotic pain medicines;
2. to control withdrawal symptoms in patients being treated for narcotic drug addiction;
3. for maintenance treatment of narcotic drug addiction along with other social and medical services. Stopping maintenance treatment of narcotic drug addiction with Methadone may result in a return to narcotic drug use.
