methadone has been researched along with Apnea in 8 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.

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Apnea density and episodes of periodic breathing exceeded the 95th percentile for normal infants in 12 (38%) of 32 of cocaine-exposed infants vs only 1 (6%) of 18 opiate-exposed infants."3.67Prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with respiratory pattern abnormalities. ( Chasnoff, IJ; Hunt, CE; Kaplan, D; Kletter, R, 1989)
" These episodes were characterized by apnea plus some combination of color change, choking or gagging, and abnormal muscle tone."3.67Parental administration of chemical agents: a cause of apparent life-threatening events. ( Altemeier, WA; Campbell, PW; Hickson, GB; Martin, ED, 1989)
