Since Measuring Liquid Methadone Is Measured With A Special Measuring Device How Do I Measure It At Home? How Do You Measure Liquid Methadone?

When measuring liquid methadone at home, you must use a specialized measuring device or spoon. If you don't have one, you can easily obtain one from your local pharmacy at a very low cost. Sometimes, if asked, a pharmacist will provide one free of charge.

Due to the precision required when measuring methadone, a regular spoon should never be used. This can lead to improper dosing, potential side effects or even a lethal overdose. Always use a special spoon which a doctor or pharmacist has given you specifically for measuring liquid methadone. 

If you are prescribed liquid methadone, most likely you will receive one of these measuring spoons from the prescribing doctor or from the pharmacist who fills the prescription. If you don't receive one, don't be afraid to ask. It could mean the different between a correct dose and a very dangerous overdose.

Methadone is also available in pill form, and as a liquid for oral use. It is essential that you never inject these forms of methadone. This could be deadly. Only inject methadone which has been specifically prepared for injection. If you run out of injectable methadone, either switch to your oral forms of the medication until you can have your prescription refilled, or contact a hospital for a new prescription of injectable methadone. Do not make substitutions.

If you suspect an overdose, get to an emergency room right away. Methadone is a very powerful medication, and overdoses are deadly. Some signs of a methadone overdose include difficulty breathing or shallow breathing, pupils which shrink dramatically, fainting or blacking out, extreme confusion or cold, clammy skin. If you experience any of these symptoms, or if you believe for any reason that you may have overdosed, don't waste time: Get medical attention immediately.

1 ml is 10 mg a child medicine dropper, walgreens or rite aid gives them for free

I asked the pharmacist for a medicine measuring syringe. Also the pharmacy usually sells them for measuring medicine for babies, would possibly be where the baby stuff is or where they keep the baby medicine. It usually goes by 10mls which equals 10 milligrams of liquid methadone.  I'm having problems with it being entirely correct though. Its always 10mills off. I get 80mgs of liquid take home from my clinic, but when I measure it at home with the syringe, its always off by 10. Its frustrating because they use those syringes to measure baby medicine. Why would if be off if its used for infants. Maybe the clinics pumps are off. I don't know. I'd ask the pharmacist though. I am once I get a chance.

You use a over the counter oral syringe from CVS ,Rite Aid, or  any drug store . Just ask the clerk or Pharmacy for a measuring syringe for children. It will have ML on it 10mg =1-10MG tablet.  If you can't get ahold of a syringe than you can use a childrens meds. Measuring cup. 1tsp is roughly equal to 45 ML. Hope I was helpful.

Liquid methadone can be measured by ml. Example 1ml is equal too 10 mg of liquid methadone.
