Does Ms Contin's Generic Form Morphine Sul Have ?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

A friend of mine recently told me that she had been prescribed 30mg of MS Contin but opted for the generic Morphine Sul as it was cheaper and was the same as MS Contin but while researching the above med she found that this med also contained both morphine and oxycodone . This didn't make sense to me because if any combination of meds would or could be found in the name brand or generic wouldn't it be more likely that it would be morphine and oxycontin since the name brand does have the word Contin in it ? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated .

Although vicodin has been up scheduled, the abuse potential is modest . The main reason is patients get their DEA number and phone in stolen script pads and forges the Rx by doing a simple math in the calculation of adding and subtracting. Most
Dr's signatures are on file at the pharmacy. However, as you know, the Dr's
signatures sometimes may be unreadable.The others(are those criminals) quite good at forgery.

Believe me not, Codeine sulfate is metabolized to morphine in the hepatic system. Hydrocodone is the same except is becomes hydromorphone.

Your friend's information is incorrect.

MS Contin contains solely the narcotic Morphine in a time released formulation, the generics are the same.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

There is no medication on the market that contains both Morphine and Oxycodone.

Is there anything else I can help with?
