My husband has cancer stage 4. His Dr has prescribed him morphine sulfate 1 pill every 12 hrs & Oxycodone 1 pill every 4 hrs. How many pills should he be taking per day (in a 24 hr period) & how many pills of each should be prescribed for a month?

Re: Maria (# 1) 
I have cancer and I take Morphine 1 every 12 hours and Hydrocodone 1 to 2 every 4 hours. I usually take 2 every 4 hours and I wake up in the middle of the night needing to take my medication. So how many per day does that allow me to have and when should I ask for a refill?

My interpretation which is not official check w/your doctor - after all they scripted them
1 every 12 hours take one after getting up say you get up @ 7 take meds @ 8am then take another @ 8pm
4 hour say you sleep from midnite till 7 ..... one @ 8, 12, 4, 8, 12, and one if you get up during the night.

Morphine - 1 every 12 hours for a total day supply of 2, quantity for a 30 day supply would be 60
Oxycodone - 1 every 4 hours for a total day supply of 6, quantity for a 30 day supply would be 180
