All of you stating that Methadone is safe to take for pregnant women are completely incorrect. See below the copy and paste I did from the Methadone manufacturer's website which give all the information about the drug. Any drugs prescribed or not, taken during pregnancy will cross the placenta and enter into the baby's blood stream. Read below...it will make your hair stand on end...poor Dannielynn...her mother was a dumb cow and not only contributed to Daniel's death, her own death but put her innocent baby at risk as well:
Warnings and Precautions
Methadone should be given with caution or in reduced doses to patients with hypothyroidism, adrenocortical insufficiency, impaired kidney or liver function, prostatic hypertrophy or shock. It should be used with caution in patients with obstructive bowel disorders and those with myasthenia gravis. Methadone is not recommended for use in obstetrical analgesia or in ambulant patients.
When used in therapeutic doses for prolonged periods, methadone may lead to the development of dependence of the morphine type and patients should be reminded of the necessity of adhering to the prescribed dosage.
Use in Pregnancy:
Risk-benefit must be considered because opioid analgesics cross the placenta. Regular use during pregnancy may cause physical dependence in the foetus, leading to withdrawal symptoms (convulsions, irritability, excessive crying, tremors, hyperactive reflexes, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, sneezing and yawning) in the neonate.
Use of methadone by pregnant women participating in methadone maintenance programmes has also been associated with foetal distress in utero and low birth weight. Although teratogenic effects in humans have not been documented, controlled studies have not been done.
Oh, of course...we should take the word of someone whose days consist of reading gossip sites, whose main skill is to cut and paste medicinal information from the Internet, and--perhaps most telling of all--doesn't know the difference between "of" and "have". Think about itâ¦exactly how does someone âof doâ something? Itâs not âshould OFâ, people. Itâs âshould HAVEâ. Good grief, the increasing and rampant ignorance of our countryâs youth, as is so often displayed on these pages, is shocking and terrifying and I hope to GOD none of you are responsible for me as I age and that you simply continue to serve my fries, never having cracked a book. In all seriousness, however, the gist here is how sad it is that people are not intelligent or knowledgeable enough to learn the facts. Granted, some of the foolishness espoused here is somewhat understandable. Not everyone has gone to medical school, nor are they as painfully familiar with chronic pain, pain management, and what is and is not safe to take during pregnancy as those, like me, who bothered to research, study, practice, and learn, for years upon years, the minute details of these very things. But shouldnât you? At least to some small degree before you say such horrible things about this deceased woman? The saddest part in all of this is how quickly and viciously people jump to hateful judgment upon those with issues, pain, and who are mired in situations about which you know little to nothing. My...how pretty your glass houses must be. Shame on all of you.
Ms. Anthropy: You sound like a lesbian who obviously either hasn't been fucked in a long time or is looking for some sort of recognition. (yawn). You really need to get a life or you will sadly spend all your days and nights writing long-winded blogs on TMZ while the world passes you by.
Hey TMZ I've got a question for you.
Did Dr. K write a prescription to an alias or did Key Pharmacy fill a prescription and put a different name on it????
You do know that paparazzi have been known to dig through trash and it would be reasonable for ANS to not want her name on the bottle, right?
Without seeing the prescription (you don't have scans of that) perhaps you are crucifying the wrong man???
Just a thought since you are reporting "news".
To be honest, I don't believe that Anna wasn't on drugs! I think that Howard K Stern was a very bad influence on her!
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
