Since we only have IM merhadone in our center do you have any recommendations on IM methadone use?

Although methadone is very promising, it sounds almost too good to be true. I wanted some more balance in this podcast. Here is a good review on methadone literature, noting the promising results, but also noting that - Many studies are relatively small(<50pts) - Methadone is compared to other opioids using a nin-multimodal approach to analgesia, just opioid-only - Studies were not large enough to be powered for safety profile (resp depress, ileus, ...)
