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. It is also effective in treating neuropathic pain, which is a result of nerve damage, and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder.

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.
