Hi Nickie,

I don't know if this will suffice as an exact answer to your question, but one manufacturer of Morphine ER (Endo Pharma) has an article stating that after 1.5 hours following administration of Morphine ER, 50% of it is absorbed.

Based on this info alone, I would anticipate 10mgs out of 30mgs being released/absorbed within an hour's time. After that point however, I'm not sure what its release rate would look like over a period of 12 hours.

Ref: endo.com/Library/Products/morphine_pack_insert.pdf

NOTE - Just in case I misinterpreted any specific details, the information I found pertaining to this is on page 2 in the link above.

I hope this helps!
