Dolophine Solution

Generic Name: Methadone Injection Solution (METH-uh-dohn)
Brand Name: Dolophine

Fatal overdose of Dolophine Solution is possible if you take more than the recommended dose. Overdose is also possible if you also consume alcohol or other medications that affect your mind or behavior. Because of the risks of Dolophine Solution, you should only receive it from approved treatment programs. Obtaining it any other way is illegal.

Dolophine Solution is used for:

Relieving moderate to severe pain and temporarily treating a narcotic addiction as part of a treatment program. It is used in patients who are unable to take medicine by mouth. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Dolophine Solution is a synthetic narcotic analgesic with multiple actions similar to those of morphine, including pain relief. It also provides sedation and temporary maintenance treatment of narcotic addiction.

Do NOT use Dolophine Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Dolophine Solution
you have diarrhea due to poisoning, pseudomembranous colitis, or hypercapnia (abnormally increased carbon dioxide tension in your arteries), or are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
you drink alcohol
you are having an asthma attack or have slowed breathing

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
