AboutNigel Simmons Expertise I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised.
Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner.
I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question.
Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?

Question 10 ng methadone by roxane has the numbers 54/142 on one side and are white does 5mg methadone by the same company have the same numbers on one side
Answer Thomas
Fortunately Roxane do include photographs of their products on their website, which confirms the view I would have expected, that the codes are unique to the product (drug and strength) and not the drug alone.
