I was prescribed to methadone a few years back (40mg, 54 883 wafers). I was going through my medicine cabinet and came across a bottle that contained about 3 of these. I knew they were methadone 40s because of the label, but i was curious of the company who made them. I asked a friend and he thought Roxanne still made them. When I looked on their site I found methadone, but only 5 & 10mg. Is anyone familiar with the company that makes 40mg methadone wafers now, and also how long methadone will last without expirering? Thanks, Bonnaroo

Mallinckrodt and DM
Mallinckrodt and DM Graham are the other two companys that also make Methadone 40 mg (non-disperision diskettes), along with Roxane as per Phisher.
it is roxanne labs (if it is 54).Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals.
as far as the shelf life goes... it is usually 1 year per the FDA. anything older than that will start to loose its potency.
