Yes, pain management due to its long lasting effects. It can also treat some respiratory problems, like coughing (although many opiates can do this).

Is methadone wafers the same as liquid methadone?

Methadone wafers and liquid methadone contain the same active ingredient, methadone, but they differ in form and possibly in how they are administered. Liquid methadone is typically taken orally in a measured dose, while methadone wafers are solid forms that dissolve in the mouth. Both forms are used in opioid addiction treatment and pain management, but the choice between them depends on the patient's needs and preferences. It's important to use them under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing and effectiveness.
