Methadone 10mg is a powerful opioid medication used primarily for two purposes: the treatment of pain and as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals with opioid use disorder. It works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain, while also helping to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings in people who are addicted to heroin or other narcotic drugs without producing the same high. The 10mg dosage is a common strength and may be used as part of a carefully monitored regimen.
Unlike many other opioids, methadone has a long half-life, meaning it stays in the body much longer, which allows for once-daily dosing in addiction treatment settings.
