methadone and Acute Liver Injury, Drug-Induced

methadone has been researched along with Acute Liver Injury, Drug-Induced in 16 studies

Methadone: A synthetic opioid that is used as the hydrochloride. It is an opioid analgesic that is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. It has actions and uses similar to those of MORPHINE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1082-3)
methadone : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of dextromethadone and levomethadone. It is a opioid analgesic which is used as a painkiller and as a substitute for heroin in the treatment of heroin addiction.
6-(dimethylamino)-4,4-diphenylheptan-3-one : A ketone that is heptan-3-one substituted by a dimethylamino group at position 6 and two phenyl groups at position 4.

Trial Outcomes

Hepatic Safety

"Participants were categorized according liver transaminase (ALT, AST) levels in blood comparing the baseline sample to any and all subsequent samples in the following manner:~A: both ALT and AST started at less than or equal to two times the ULN and remained at two times or less ULN throughout the study~B: either ALT or AST started at less than or equal to 2 x ULN and at any point in study exceeded 2 x ULN~C: Either ALT or AST started > 2 x ULN, decreased (both ALT and AST) to < 2 x ULN, and remained < 2 x ULN~D: Either ALT or AST started > 2 x ULN and remained above 2 x ULN throughout the study" (NCT00315341)
