Methadone 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.

you are allergic to any ingredient in Methadone 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.
