A statistically significant majority of respondents (n = 375; 62.4%) took methadone, λ2(1) = 36.94; p < .001. Table 2 includes medicines that were most commonly taken with methadone in the studied group. Statistically, the majority of the patients studied received nitrazepam and oxazepam (Table 2) with methadone. The median total number of assigned medications in the group treated with methadone was four. The other most commonly used drugs included hydroxyzine, oxazepam and tolperisone.
