Homonym: metadona (Medication)
Metadona is a synthetic opioid used primarily to treat opioid addiction and manage chronic pain. It works by binding to the same receptors in the brain as other opioids, but it does so in a way that helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same intense high.
In addition to its use in addiction treatment, metadona can also be prescribed for pain relief in patients who may not respond well to other pain medications. It is important for patients to use metadona under medical supervision due to its potential for dependence and side effects.
