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

what is there to be concerned about when taking oramorph and suffeeing primary progressive m.s.?

Accepted Answer

NO MAJOR ISSUE: Oramorph is merely a sustained release form of morphine, and unlikely to affect any variation of ms.  Side effects can include constipation, drowsiness, maybe dizziness, and possible nausea.  If you possess imbalance, the drug may cause additive issues, but these would be temporary.  Primary progressive ms is tough to manage, and wish you the best.

Question 4

is ms contin (morphine) stronger than oramorph ( 5ml/10mg) ?

Accepted Answer

MS Contin (morphine) = oramorph: There is no such thing as "stronger" or "weak" opioid  medication, only those that work and don't work, based on the patient's individual circumstances and genetics.

Question 5

how do you know what dose of ms contin (morphine) is needed ? is it the total amount of oramorph used daily ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type: This is a question that should be answered strictly by your prescribing physician.Oramorph has a diff dosing sched than Oramorph SR.In general, total amount of morphine used per day should be equivalent.Ex. if you require 30 mg of Oramorph per day to adequately control your pain, the dosage of MS Contin should be 30 mg.Some drs., though give a specific amount of MS Contin w/a smaller rescue dose.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

i've taken 200mls of oramorph will it damage me?

Accepted Answer

One TIme Overdose: Given that you can write and communicate i would have to say that you are probably going to be fine.  Here on health tap when I am asked this question i always worry deeply that this 'mistake' or over use of a medication is indeed a suicide attempt.  Please write back and tell us you are safe. If you are not safe please realize you do not have to feel this bad.

Question 8

is tapentadol as strong as oramorph. ( 5ml/10mg ) ?

Accepted Answer

Same receptor: One is a classic opioid (oramorph) another is called an opioid agonist, that works differently than a classic opioid but on the same pain receptor.  I am not a fan of evidence based data, and have learned to rely on my own experience.  I would some people do better with tapentadol (nucynta), some with classic opioid like oramorph.  I would have to say they are potentially as effective as the other

Question 9

oramorph..morphine sulphate, what is this for?

Accepted Answer
