[Improve the benefit/risk balance of methadone by respecting its pharmacological specificities]. Therapie. 2019 Jun;74(3):383-388 Authors: Frauger E, Fouilhé Sam-Laï N, Mallaret M, Micallef J, le French Addictovigilance Network (FAN) Abstract Recent data on methadone from 2008 to 2017 by the French addictovigilance network warms on the increase of methadone use, its diversion, its increase of overdose risk factors (opioids associated, occasional use) and deaths. Whereas methadone is an essential drug for opioid addiction, its use remains complex because of its pharmacology leading to increase the awareness of health professionals.
