What is the pharmacist's role in methadone maintenance treatment?

Simply dispense methadone
Observe and report patient compliance and behavior
Prescribe dose adjustments
None

The correct answer is: Observe and report patient compliance and behavior

The pharmacist's role in methadone maintenance treatment is to observe and report patient compliance and behavior. Simply dispensing methadone (choice A) is not sufficient for this type of treatment as careful monitoring of the patient's progress and any potential side effects is essential for successful treatment. The pharmacist is not responsible for prescribing dose adjustments (choice C) as this falls under the role of the healthcare provider prescribing the methadone. Lastly, saying that the pharmacist's role is "none" (choice D) is incorrect as they play a crucial role in the overall treatment plan and patient care.
