Question 1

can you please tell me how ms contins (morphine) and oxy contins differ?

Accepted Answer

Different pain meds: Both are long-acting forms of pain meds.  The main ingredient of MS-Contin is morphine, while that of oxycontin.  While both are narcotic pain meds, the main ingredient is a different chemical.  It is why someone may respond better to one than the other, while someone else responds in the reverse way.

Question 2

my husband is on bupenephrine 10mcg and he used to be on morphine 60 mg er and 5 30 mg  a day. he has oxy for nreaktheough pain. would the fentynal pa?

Accepted Answer

Pain: If ur question is should he have the fentanyl patch, the answer is no.  The Butrans patch will limit its effect.  Also we try not to use 2 longacting agents at once.  If pain is getting worse....What is causing it?

Accepted Answer

Herbs: Medicinal cannabis if it is legal in your state is an alternative to narcotic pain medications.  Also eating a more alkaline diet my help.  Acupuncture. Deep meditation.  There are various herbs but this is not my specialty.  Recommend following up with a pain management specialist and/or homeopathic specialist.  There are also doctors of natural medicine possibly in your area.

Question 5

what is morphine ?

Accepted Answer

Narcotic drug: Morphine is a narcotic pharmaceutical, a natural substance derived from the opium poppy. 
It can be very effective for severe pain, both acute and chronic, and is often given to ease pain after surgery.
However, like all narcotics it can have many side effects and is very habituating with danger of addiction and dependence.

Question 6

what medicine contains morphine?

Accepted Answer

Morphine: Morphine is usually not in a combined medication. There is one significant exception and that is combination Morphine/Naltrexone. The latter blocks some of the effects of morphine, theoretically preventing addiction.

Question 7

is expired morphine safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Expired morphine: In general expired medications still do work. In the real world (everything else but the usa) especially africa expired medications are used. As long as they are not expired by more than 12 mo. In the usa the fda and the lawyers will be after us if an expired med was given and you had a problem.

Question 8

80mg morphine daily. is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Morphine dosage: That depends. If you have been on opiates - lortab, percocet, ect. I may be perfectly safe as long as it's given in divided doses - say three times a day where it totals 80mg. For someone who never takes opiates, to take 80 mg of morphine all at once could kill them by supressing respiration. This effect is amplified by alcohol, benzos and medicines like soma (carisoprodol).

Question 9

what medications contain morphine?

Accepted Answer

Brand Names: are MSContin, Avinza, (morphine) Kadian, Roxanol,  to name a few. Codeine is metabolized to Morphine so it will generally be present in Urine Tox Screens.

Question 10

what is similar to a morphine drip?

Accepted Answer

Continuous infusion: A morphine drip is a continuous morphine intravenous infusion. Pain medications such as morphine can be administered as an infusion to help with constant pain. In some cases, a patient controlled administraion infusion (PCA) system is used whereby you can safely administer yourself an extra dose when needed for severe pain.
