Yes, it's available, but I wouldn't recommend it. I take Methadone now and I would say to go with Methadone by Roxane. Much better med.

Hey Director,
I'm with you on the Methadone. Strangely, another customer at my pharmacy expressed a preference for the Mallincrodt brand. This is so contrary to everyone's experience that I know, I don't know how to explain it.

That is strange that someone would actually prefer a drug from Mallinckrodt when they have such a reputation of making junk medicine. I only know of one person (on another board) that promotes Methadose. I had it twice several years ago, and I requested my Pharmacist order in the Roxane tabs and he has been stocking them for me for about five years now.

i've been taking 40-60mg of Methadose/Methadone for several yrs and just found out a couple mos. ago that retail pharms can no longer order/carry/distribute the big fat 40mg pill. my dr. had no idea until i told him this. i've always been surprised at how little my dr. seems to know about pharmacy laws.

The 40 mg wafers were pulled by the DEA from the pharmacies on January 1, 2008. They can only be used in hospitals and detox clinics, for detoxification and/or maintenance on Methadone. Your doctor can still prescribe the 5 and 10 mg tabs for pain.
