Addiction Treatment

Covidien is a leading supplier of therapeutic products for treating opioid addiction. From manufacture of the raw material to production of the final dosage form, Covidien serves the need for this important therapeutic modality. Our Methadose® brand of methadone hydrochloride is available in liquid, tablet, and powder forms to meet all prescribing needs.

METHADOSE® is for oral administration only. This preparation must not be injected. It is recommended that METHADOSE®, if dispensed, be packaged in child-resistant containers and kept out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

Abuse and dependence: Methadone can produce drug dependence of the morphine type and, therefore, has the potential for being abused. Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of methadone, and it should be prescribed and administered with the same degree of caution appropriated to the use of morphine.
