What If Ms Contin Got Wet (Top voted first)
UpdatedI take 30 mg MS Contin for cronic pain. Went to take it very early in the morning. Was several hours earlier than usual because i had woken around 4:30am in alot of pain! I was very sleepy and had the perscription bottle sitting next to sink as i started to fill my glass with water. i had one pill in hand and a glass in the other with the water running. As i leaned forward to fill my glass, i knocked my pill bottle over into the sink! At least 8 were really wet, a couple more were a lil wet. I know not to crush, cut, or chew them cause of the warnings on the bottle... but are they unsafe if they had gotten a lil wet? The 8 pills were too wet, but what of the others? I set them aside for now but dont know if i should even keep them or if they will make me sick if i take them. I will contact my pain doctor tomorrow but i feel really silly bout it and dont want to make another 'bonehead' move and make it worse! Thanks.

Since these are time released tablets, it is more than likely that getting a little wet or damp won't make much of a difference, though some slight amount of the medication may have started to release and been wasted.
Their being dangerous, though, is unlikely, since they weren't cut or crushed, so they won't be releasing more of the medication than they should be. The water is not going to cause them to release more of the medication, just like your stomach acid and the fluids you drink don't cause them to do so.
It is always smart, though, to double check this information with your doctor or pharmacist.

Are there any other questions?
Cassidy - I know this is old but I too got some MS Contin 30 mgs wet. I looked it up and found your post. Did you ever take the ones that got wet? Just wondered bc it's impossible now to get pain meds and I'd hate to discard if they are OK!!
