Although the well established efficacy of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) in the opioid dependence disorder, there is a group of patients that are poor responders. The study of the influence of methadone pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in dose requirements and program outcome remains still controversial. The aim of this dissertation is to study the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors involved in the methadone maintenance treatment efficacy. The study recruited opioid dependence patients (DSM-IV criteria) from a MMT community program. Patients were clinically assessed and blood samples were obtained in order to evaluate methadone plasma concentrations of (R,S)-, (R) and (S)- methadone. Allelic variants of genes encoding t...
