Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/006134s040s041lbl.pdf | https://www.drugs.com/pro/diskets.html

Methadone, sold under the brand names Dolophine among others, is an synthetic opioid that is used as the hydrochloride to treat pain and as maintenance therapy or to help with detoxification in people with opioid dependence. Methadone hydrochloride is a mu-agonist; a synthetic opioid analgesic with multiple actions qualitatively similar to those of morphine. Some data also indicate that methadone acts as an antagonist at the NMDA-receptor. The contribution of NMDA receptor antagonism to methadone’s efficacy is unknown. Most common adverse reactions are: lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, vomiting, and sweating. Avoid use mixed agonist/antagonist and partial agonist opioid analgesics with DOLOPHINE because they may reduce analgesic effect of DOLOPHINE or precipitate withdrawal symptoms.

Approved Use

For the treatment of moderate to severe pain not responsive to non-narcotic analgesics. For detoxification treatment of opioid addiction (heroin or other morphine-like drugs). For maintenance treatment of opioid addiction (heroin or other morphine-like drugs), in conjunction with appropriate social and medical services. Note – Outpatient maintenance and outpatient detoxification treatment may be provided only by Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) certified by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and registered by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This does not preclude the maintenance treatment of a patient with concurrent opioid addiction who is hospitalized for conditions other than opioid addiction and who requires temporary maintenance during the critical period of his/her stay, or of a patient whose enrollment has been verified in a program which has been certified for maintenance treatment with methadone.

Comment: CYP450 inducers: concomitant administration of rifampin resulted in a marked reduction in serum methadone levels and a concurrent appearance of withdrawal symptoms; phenytoin administration resulted in an approximately 50% reduction in methadone exposure and withdrawal symptoms occurred concurrently. CYP450 inhibitors: Repeat dose administration of oral voriconazole increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC of (R)-methadone by 31% and 47%, respectively, in subjects receiving a methadone maintenance dose. The Cmax and AUC of (S)-methadone increased by 65% and 103%, respectively

Involved in the metabolism of methadone, but its contribution to the metabolism of (R)-methadone was smaller than that of CYP3A4. For the metabolism of (S)-methadone, the roles of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 appeared equal.
METABOLIC ENZYME -> SUBSTRATE
CYP2C19 preferentially metabolized (R)-methadone,

CYP2B6 preferentially metabolized (S)-methadone,

Prolonged exposure methadone induces MOPr internalization comparable with that induced by DAMGO, whereas morphine produces much less MOPr heroin during relapse is due to receptor internalization. The blunting of the response to desensitization not receptor antagonism.
