I am in need of info or research site to learn about the effects of methadone on asthmatics. I have a family member in the clinic program who is rapidly becoming almost totally disable with his asthma which only began iyear ago. What is the effect of this methadone on these asthmatics-he is constantly in ER and being administered high doses of prednisoneIV. Any help please?

Difficulty breathing is listed as one of the more serious side effects; It is advisable that the individual seeks medical attention ASAP.

If you read the Full Methadone Listing and scroll down to the heading 'Less Common Methadone Side Effects' you will see it listed in there.

Best Wishes to your Family Member.
