dc.description.abstract | A poster presentation regarding a pilot study for methadone dispensing from a community pharmacy. Introduction: Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) was introduced in Malta in 1987 and is provided by the Substance Misuse Outpatient Unit (SMOPU). The mode of administration is a centralised one, implying that opioid dependent patients visit the SMOPU where they take their prescribed methadone medication. In 2005, the Government announced the formation of a take-home methadone prescription programme. In 2013, 976 patients were receiving methadone. Aim: To determine whether pharmacists in Malta would be willing to dispense methadone. | en_GB |
