peer agreement (net): +4venous irritation Explanation: Trudy, I think what they refer to is that these methadone containing medications could be interesting for addicts who might be tempted to shoot it up. But the fact that the meds also contain high concentrations of glucose ( which may cause venous irritations) will most likely act as a deterrant? http://www.allaboutpharmacy.co.uk/Formulary/Treatment_of_Hyp... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 14 mins (2005-02-18 20:59:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You got me hooked! Here is some info: http://www.exchangesupplies.org/publications/methadone_brief... The glucose was removed from methadone because people were foolishly injecting it and causing abscesses. As methadone is passed from the oral route to the liver to metabolise far better than by injection, this is another myth that diverters of methadone do not acknowledge and continue to inject because they have a fixation with the injecting process. http://www.fds.org.au/letter_aug00_02.html |
