Methadone (also known as Symoron Dolophine Amidone Methadose Physeptone Heptadon and many other names) is a synthetic opioid. It is used medically as an analgesic and a maintenance anti-addictive and reductive preparation for use by patients with opioid dependency. It was developed in Germany in 1937 mainly because Germany required a reliable internal source of opiates.
