Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Methadone HCl 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent medication primarily used for the treatment of opioid dependence, chronic pain, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia. As an opioid agonist, it functions by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, thereby mimicking the effects of other opioids such as morphine. This mechanism of action aids in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence, and in managing moderate to severe pain.

The Methadone HCl 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are available in two formulations: immediate-release and extended-release. The extended-release formulation is engineered to maintain a steady, consistent level of medication in the body over an extended period of time. It is crucial to take methadone exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider, and to avoid abrupt discontinuation of the medication, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

However, it is important to adhere to the instructions provided by a healthcare provider when taking this medication. Potential side effects may include nausea, constipation, dizziness, and drowsiness. It is advisable to be aware of these potential side effects and to consult a healthcare provider if they occur.

The Methadone HCl 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

If you have any questions about Methadone HCl 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) or any other medication, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to assist you with any queries or concerns you may have.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
