@ Jacq: I'm so sorry to hear that your husband has been enduring such a tough and painful disease, and my prayers are with you both. As for the morphine, it is sometimes prescribed to suppress the cough reflex, so it does have implications in that arena. I'm not sure how it actually affects the mucus itself, but it can definitely control cough. God bless!

My husband is on 75 mcg fentalyl patch, with 30 mg morphine sulfate for breakthrough pain. Although he can have as much as one dose of morphine every two hours, he only requires it about four times a day. He has had a very painful cancer, and is recovering from radiation to his head and neck. Since the radiation has caused severe mucositis and throat pain, he has been thinking the morphine helps to reduce the mucus in his throat as well as the pain. Is this likely?

Did a doctor prescribe these? If so, did one doctor prescribe the morphine and one the fentanyl? Odd combination, as they arent typically taken together. We're you given fentanyl for maintenance and morphine for breakthrough pain?
If a doctor is not aware of your having both these medications I urge you to NEVER mix narcotics or any drugs not evaluated and prescribed together by the same doctor or by two physicians both aware of the combination. If you're taking them for a "high", you would be taking a big gamble with your health and your life in generally. Mixing the two could cause respiratory failure.

Have you consulted a doctor? Where they prescribed to be used together?

Since these are both controlled release medications, they are rarely used together, in this manner, due to the risks it can cause, since they both cause depression of the central nervous system. This is usually only done in cases of very severe, chronic pain, where the person has already built up a tolerance to the narcotics and is no longer getting effective relief from them.

Normally, if someone is using the Fentanyl patch and requires a medication for breakthrough pain, they are given a regular release or instant release medication.
