Pain Managment

Methadone is also used for pain managment, this is regarded as a good thing considering methadone is less dangerous compared to the stronger pain medications that have worse side-effects. As I have said before it has almost the same effect as morphine, and herione except it is less addictive and also a synthetic( which means proccessed). Though as everyone knows methadone has it's own short-comings including the side-effects it can have in a patient who has hepattits, and pneumonia. "In case of overdose patients will experience prior difficulty breathing, muscle spasms, small pupils, blushed hued skin and finernails, constipation, slowed heart-rate, lowered blood pressure, drowsiness, and eventually coma."
