Show Notes

Episode 19 of Cracking Addiction explores the management of opioid use disorder in the post partum period.

Post birth the patient's usual oral methadone dose can be continued in the peripartum and post partum period. There is a theoretical concern in the postpartum period of over-sedation as methadone levels may increase as plasma volume and hepatic clearance normalise post the delivery of the child.
