Dear Doc, Can you please tell me if methadone is diluted with normal tap water to whatever ratio (as some people do for various reasons) apart from the obvious dilution does the strength of the meth' start to deteriorate as the water starts to react? And if so at what rate does this occur as I've heard various stories over the years and I'm still not sure. Yours, Confused of Sale Dear Confused of Sale, Adding water to methadone should have
no effect, except for diluting it. In theory it could make it very
slightly less stable, but this won't be significant over a two to
four week period. It would be best to dilute it immediately before
taking it, rather than keeping it diluted in the bottle. It is dangerous
to have diluted and undiluted bottles around the place, unless they
are clearly labelled. If the wrong bottle is used by mistake, it might
poison somebody. |
