Methadone Overdose is a clinical condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of methadone in the body, resulting in life-threatening respiratory depression and central nervous system suppression, distinct from other opioid overdoses due to methadone’s unique pharmacokinetic profile, including a prolonged half-life and delayed onset of action.
