Question 1

what is the definition or description of: oramorph sr allergy?

Accepted Answer

Oramorph SR allergy: Oramorph SR (morphine sulfate) was a sustained release pain reliever.  My understanding is the Oramorph SR 10mg, 30mg, 60mg and 100mg tablets were discontinued in 2000.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: morphine sulfate allergy?

Accepted Answer

Dear 33-year-old: I keep seeing these questions from you.  The definition of a  morphine allergy is that you're allergic to morphine.  In allergic response is a specific cascade of events that occurs when you've been sensitized to a certain chemical or protein.  You can apply this answer to every other question you've asked about the definition of a blank allergy

Question 3

can 90mg of dihydrocodeine immediate relief 4x a day be a normal prescription for an adult instead of morphine (oramorph) ?

Accepted Answer

Goals and context: Are missing. Not commonly used in US, I only can think of few circumstances that will make sense. At this doses usually immediately release opiates are backed up with sustained release opiates. Other than for palliative reasons, not a long term solution regardless of medical condition. Talk to prescriber in order to understand goals of therapy.

Question 4

what is considered a lethal dose of oramorph?

Accepted Answer

Over 120 mg: The maximum daily dose for oramorph is 120 mg. Taking doses greater than 120 mg a day may increase the risk of serious side effects, including bronchospasm and death. Ask your PCP for help and referral to a psychiatrist.

Question 5

how much oramorph is safe to take in a day ? my dosage is 5ml/10mg.

Accepted Answer

Prescribed dose : Oramorph can be taken by different patients in greatly different doseages. The medication is safe at greatly varying dose but dependent on numerous factors.  If you are asking about safe dose, my presumption is that your doctor has not prescribed a dose more than the 10mg you mentioned.  You really need to explain to your MD that you are not getting pain relief so MD can give you safe/correct dose

Question 6

what would the long term effects of a oramorph overdose be?

Accepted Answer

Depends on downtime: Oramorph is a form of morphine. It is available in a sustained release formulation. The problems with this drug are the same with other opioids, namely they can stop breathing. If you stop breathing, you can develop brain damage, a stroke, have a heart attack, or die. As long as you survive your ingestion, the outcome will depend on how long you were without oxygen (if at all.) hope you are well!

Question 7

how much oramorph would you need to take to suffer a fatal overdose?

Accepted Answer

No one will: answer that question. If you are feeling suicidal, call 911 or a suicide hotline  or go to an ER ASAP. Things may seem hopeless when you are depressed, but medication and psychotherapy can help turn life around. Please get help and let us know how you are doing.

Question 8

how long after taking oramorph can you have a alcoholic drink?

Accepted Answer

Long half life: Oramorph has a long half life. Don't know your dose or why you are taking it.  If stable and feeling normal, you can have a drink without getting into trouble.  That does not mean you could drink excessively, however.

Question 9

i am currently on a fentanyl patch. can i use dihydrocodeine  or oramorph when the pain is very bad?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You need to discuss a strategy for breakthrough pain with the physician who prescribed the fentanyl patch.

Question 10

will oramorph delay my period?

Accepted Answer

No: Oramorph is a type of morphine, a type of opiate or narcotic, used for pain relief. It should not affect the timing of one's menstrual period.
