Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / methadone | | German term or phrase: durch Venenreizung | Ich muss auf dem Schlauch stehen, but I don't know exactly what to do with "um einen intravenösen Missbrauch **durch Venenreizung** zu verhindern.
Die handelsübliche Darreichungsform der Methadonlösung wirkt aufgrund von 2 Eigenschaften hoch interessant auf Kinder: Erstens, besitzt die Lösung verfahrenstechnisch eine rote Farbe und zweitens, weist sie einen sehr süßen Geschmack auf. Grund für den süßen Geschmack ist die Versetzung der Methadonlösung mit hochprozentiger Glukose. Dies erfolgt, um einen intravenösen Missbrauch **durch Venenreizung** zu verhindern. Lediglich der herbe und bittere Nachgeschmack verhindert i. Allg. die akzidentelle Einnahme einer größeren Menge. |

Trudy Peters (asker): 9:04pm Feb 18, 2005: Thanks for your research! Did we really want to know that much about it? :-)

| | venous irritation | Explanation:
Trudy, I think what they refer to is that these methadone containing medications could be interesting for addicts who
might be tempted to shoot it up. But the fact that the meds also contain high concentrations of glucose ( which may cause venous irritations) will most likely act as a deterrant?

The glucose was removed from methadone because people were foolishly injecting it and causing abscesses. As methadone is passed from the oral route to the liver to metabolise far better than by injection, this is another myth that diverters of methadone do not acknowledge and continue to inject because they have a fixation with the injecting process.
