DOSAGE
Morphine sulphate Cas No. 64-31-3
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do
not increase your dose, take the medication more frequently, or take it for
a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so
directed. You may also take quick-acting narcotic pain medications for
sudden (breakthrough) pain if so directed by your doctor. Also follow your
doctor's or pharmacist's instructions for safely using non-narcotic pain
relievers (such as naproxen, ibuprofen). If you have been using other
long-acting narcotic pain medications or narcotic patches regularly, check
with your doctor or pharmacist because you may need to stop using them
before you start using this medication. If you are currently using a
narcotic patch (such as fentanyl), the effects may continue after it is
removed. Ask your doctor or pharmacist when it will be safe to start taking
this medication (usually 18 hours after removing the patch).
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually 2 or 3 times
daily (every 8 or 12 hours) or as directed by your doctor. If you have
nausea, it may help to take this drug with food. Consult your doctor or
pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea (such as taking
antihistamines, lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as
possible).
