Evaluating the effect of chronic and continuous use of methadone on the glomerular filtration rate of patients receiving oral methadone (syrup)
These findings indicate that, although methadone dosage may influence renal function, long-term methadone therapy does not inherently exacerbate the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this population. This underscores the critical need for diligent monitoring of methadone dosages to mitigate the risk of potential renal impairment and highlights the importance of further research into the long-term implications of methadone on renal health.
