Morphine Sulfate Cr 30 Mg (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have taken off-green color *generic morphine 30mg e.R for a number of years with good results / 4 chronic pain. Now pharmacy is giving me morphine tab - 30mg e.R made by a lab called *mallinkrt. Taking it does bother my stomach, and does not last as e.R should. Seems alot of this stuff being substituted at pharmacies. Twice I've been given this made by mallinkrt lab and it doesnt work. Anyone else having this trouble?

Hey, it is perfectly legal for your doctor to prescribe the same pain medication in several dosages, or to prescribe several different ones in different dosages to help you manage your pain. There is no law against them doing that, however, they will more than likely have to account for why they did so to the DEA, which makes many doctors hesitant.

Many doctors will do so, to try to help someone get their pain under control, while not jumping to the next higher dosage, so they still have somewhere to go to help their patients in the future.

In many cases of pain management, the doctors will often prescribe a long-acting medication, such as Oxycontin or MS Contin and an immediate release, such as OxyIR, so the patient has something that works fast, while the other time released medication has time to do its work.

However, the laws are very strict on the use of controlled substances and it can be a hassle for your doctor if their decisions are questioned by the government and they have to explain why they prescribed something.

You also need to remember that your doctor isn't obligate to prescribe you anything.

Is there anything else I can help with?

There can be differences in generic drugs. This is due to the fact that the FDA does allow them to differ from the name brand, in the active ingredient, but as much as plus or minus 20%. They consider this an effective therapeutic window.

A problem can arise, however, when you switch from one generic to another, because they are never measured against each other. They only have to stay within that allowable difference to the name brand. This means that one generic could have the exact amount of the active ingredient, while a different one may have less of it and, yet another one may have more of it.

As to the one you have, it is manufactured my Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and there have been many complaints about their products not being as effective as other generics that are on the market.

The only thing I can suggest is to talk to your pharmacy and ask them to order the other one back in for you. In the past, I have taken their Morphine tablets myself and was never happy with them.

I have problems with MSContin but that is quick release. They decided to put me on 15 mg KADIAN which is lon lasting as in time release all day- hour. I take it 3x'x a day. No problems but its not generic and costs me 50.00 each script. The morphine is supposed to also extend the life of percocet which I take 4 times a day with 3 of them being taken with the kadian. Does it work, not really. But it doesn't make me sick. There are many different kinds of morphine ER., ask your doc. Or even the pharmacist, thats what I did. He told me of different brands that wouldn't make me sick. All you can do is trial and error, really. Lisa
