Question
Can methodone and tenuate be taken together?

Answer
     There have been no documented drug interactions between Methadone and Tenuate.  They should be only used together very cautiously under close doctor's supervision due to the risks each drug has separately.  While you may not have an increase risk of drug interactions it is more likely you may have increased side effects from the drugs such as nervousness or moodiness and other things you may not anticipate.
