Taking Methadone off the market?


My sister takes the 40 mg of Methadone for Pain management but she heard today that they will no longer allow the 40 mg tablets to be given as Pain management (due to DEA rules). Does anyone know if the means that Methadone will no longer be used as Pain management or can she still get it but in a different strength tablets? Who should she contact about this? Her doctor or pharmacist? Thanks!!

She should still be able to get methadone from her doctor, he/she may just simply need to change the tablet strength. but before she gets stressed out take the time to go the manufacturer's website for the pills and see if it is actually being changed. they should have it posted on the site. also she can look at the fda or dea's website to verify the information. her pharmacist can verify that a change has been made but to change the prescription in anyway she needs to speak with her doc
