A member asked:
Wife was taking two 5/325 mg hydrocodone every 6 hours for pain. the pain began breaking through so her doctor gave her a new order for morphine sulfate er 15 mg tablet every 12 hours. is this actually more pain control than she was getting before?

It is likely stronger.

YES, morphine is indeed more potent than hydrocodone, BUT, if she starts getting drowsy on the new prescription, that is a sign of looming trouble, and needs reporting ASAP. Opioids are two-edged swords, and certainly do have risks. Close coordination with your doctor is imperative!
